Aero-News Quote Of The Day (08.24.04)

Aero-News: Quote of the Day

ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news, though we reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have a bearing on the day's events and issues.

Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be thought-provoking.

Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become future Quotes of the Day.

Let us hear from you, folks!

Aero-News Quote of the Day

"If it wasn't for the lines, I would have died. It all happened so fast. I hit the ground really hard and I was kinda waiting to die. Then the pain set in. I knew I was alive but I wasn't sure how badly I had been injured."

Source: Christine McKenzie, a South African skydiver whose main and reserve chutes failed to properly deploy on Sunday. Miraculously, McKenzie fell from almost 11,000 feet and survived after bouncing off some power lines near Johannesburg.
