The Final Chapter
According to the news wires, the bones found at the site of Steve Fossett’s plane wreck have been identified by DNA as those of Fossett.
Steve was an options trader in Chicago who had a great zest for life and all the possible adventures you could have and he certainly did.
From soloing around the world in a hot-air balloon to soloing around the world in a one-man airplane, Steve Fossett certainly did live a life that would have been worthy of that legendary literary figure, Walter Mitty.
I’m glad, for his family, that they now have remains which to bury. I am also glad that he didn’t suffer, as the NTSB investigators have said that he certainly died on impact judging this from the site itself and the manner in which the wreckage was scattered.
