Man dies after getting run over by a plane.

A guy is filming a plane and he gets hit by it and and dies. Sad and tragic that he was injured and died.

But how do you get hit by a plane when you're staring right at it? How can you not see that coming? Freak air accidents aren't uncommon up here in the North. Last year a guy jumped out of a commercial flight over Nunavut. Deliberate suicide. Again, sad and tragic but how does that happen? They were never able to recover the body.

June 19th, 2004, a CF-18 fighter jet wipes out at Yellowknife airport on take off. The pilot ejected and was safe. Shortly after that a CF-18 took off from Yellowknife airport and accidentally dropped a bomb on the golf course. The missile dropped off its wing during take off. Fortunately it didn't go off, but it put a golfer or two off their game.
