MANY MUSICIANS ARE FLYING BLIND
MANY MUSICIANS ARE FLYING BLIND
DALLAS (Wireless Flash) A Dallas-based aviation lawyer says musicians may be at a higher risk of getting involved in plane crashes such as the one that killed R&B star Aaliyah. Attorney Kent Krause says the urgent travel schedules required of those in the music industry often force them to use planes or pilots that havent been checked out completely for safety. He says some pilots who cater to celebrities take risks they normally wouldnt such as flying overloaded planes because theyre catering to VIPs who want things done a certain way. Krause says its important to thoroughly check out charter planes before flying and says Aaliyahs family may have grounds to sue the Florida-based charter company. In his words, A reasonable person checking their background wouldnt have flown with these guys.
