Can't imagine what he went through. Sucks for Australia.

Let it open the door for more US shows? I have still not ever seen B182.

Who would fly again after surviving a crash?

They are still doing the Aussie Tour, but with the drummer from Tenacious D.

Next time they are in Houston or any surrounding Louisiana area, I'm making sure I get tickets. Would love to see them live.

Blink used to be one of my favorite bands. Would still love to see them live. Can't fault the guy. Must be traumatizing as hell.

Why couldn't they get Scott Raynor to fill in? Have a Blink reunion?

Y'all should've seen them when they came to Voodoo. It was an awesome show. They really had fun with it. They also used a ton of shots from the Voodoo show for the music video of Wishing Well.

I can't blame TB for not wanting to fly. I recently read that he was the only one to survive that crash. Every other passenger/pilot has since died.

I hope so. I missed the Voodoo show, and haven't seem them since like '01 in Alabama with Jimmy Eat World, and Green Day. Awesome show.

But can you really blame him for not wanting to?

Somewhat. People lose their friends in car accidents every day and the will still drive. The plane didn't even take off...a tire blew and the pilots screwed up breaking.

Saw Blink's reunion tour at the Cynthia Woods Pavilion in The Woodlands for my 21st bday.

GREAT show.

Easy for someone who has never been in a horrific plane crash to say

This means absolutely nothing. What an ignorant thing to say.

So he basically got in a car wreck in a plane?

There have literally been thousands of people that have survived horrific plane and car accidents and are still flying or driving.

Yes. It skidded off the end of the runway and crashed. The odds that you'd have a blowout and pilots that were that bad again and on a runway without the arresting system at the end of the Tarmac is rare.

That shouldn't make you afraid of flying then. People get over car wrecks because they have control while driving. Fear of planes comes from not being in control.
