Last month, Bob Cartwright learned that his friend and personal pilot died in the plane crash that killed a New York Yankees pitcher.
"I was supposed to be on that plane," Cartwright told friends at the time. The pilot, Tyler Stanger, had invited Cartwright and Rod Watkins, a mutual friend, to a playoff game between the Yankees and the Detroit Tigers, but neither could make the trip.Thirty-four days later, Cartwright got caught in a strange and sad twist of fate.
Cartwright died Tuesday at the age of 68 with two other men in a plane that crashed into the shoreline of Big Bear Lake, which is near his mountain home in nearby Sugarloaf.
Whoa. It's just like that movie.

Holy shit! What a friggin' story. Dodged death once and it claims him later..! Whoa..
I think there's a similar story about a guy who escaped death in the Twin Towers only to die about a month after that in that plane on the way to the Dominican Republic that crashed in Queens. I think he wasn't even on the plane. Debris hit his house, or something.
Freaky.
