A Virginia pilot devoted to rescuing shelter dogs was killed when a small plane crashed in the Catskills on Sunday as he was flying several dogs up for adoption to an upstate animal shelter. Father of three Seuk Kim, 49, was killed Sunday alongside one of three dogs he was flying from Maryland to Albany to be adopted as part of his work with a not-for-profit group that transports rescue animals from overcrowded shelters to places they are more likely to find a home

Know cause of crash? I know I could probably look it up. I know that's not the photo of the flight for the crash, but three dogs uncaged in that size plane is a recipe for disaster. Especially rescue dogs that you don't know their behavior.

Fly on a plane approaching cruising altitude. Listen to all the really little kids start screaming at 5-10k ft altitude to get to cruising altitude. Ears popping made the headphone business billions so people didn't have to listen to kids crying due to pressure while flying.

I'm sure at a ~9k cruising altitude for that sized plane, not pressurized, it probably messed with the dogs ears and they went ape shit. A good act, but not the best idea as a single pilot. You need a ride along or copilot with loose dogs in the cabin. Unfortunately dogs kill drivers of cars frequently as well. You gotta crate them or wall them off in the back. They're still animals and anything could spook them at a moments notice.

I know it's a positive thread, but mentioning how not to die in a plane or car I think is a positive.
