It is becoming more and more apparent that using cell phones while operating modes of transportation is dangerous.  A plane crashed in Watkins, Colorado in May of 2014 killing the two people on board.  The National Transportation Safety Board recently revealed their findings of the cause of the crash.

They reported that a GoPro camera was found at the crash site and video showed that the pilot and passenger were taking selfies.

 

 

My father is a pilot of a small passenger plane.  I grew up around small airplanes, and have been riding in them since I can remember.  I also have watched how much concentration goes into flying a small plane as well.  As an adult in the technology age, I haven't had the privilege of flying with him much, but I can see where a cell phone would be a distraction especially for the pilot.

This is such a tragic loss, for a picture.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those who lost their lives in the crash.
