    To my Father. Even though you have crossed the plane, you will always be with me.
    You were not just my Father, but my hero. My life has been a poor attempt to be like you
    You taught me music, vocals, and how to fight. I can only hope I am half the man you are
    When I close my eyes I can see you. And finally, Thank you Dad. for everything.

    Back on topic.

    Genius is an abnormality, often accompanied by unpleasant personality quirks. In Nash's case, psychopathy was among them.

    Um . . . there's a difference between having psychotic episodes and being a psychopath, kay?

    Neither was using the cab's seatbelts at the time, which MIGHT have prevented their (rather awful) deaths-- just like the late Bob Simon. They apparently had been sharing the cab with another colleague but he was out of there already, so it can't be there weren't enough belts. Maybe they didn't work easily (even the modern ones get jammed or don't lock if not hooked in exactly right) or were too uncomfortable with all their frailties? Whatever, if they're there, use them, folks! This is so sad. (One hopes it was all over before they had too much chance to be frightened or in much pain, but I kind of doubt it.)

    Damn shame. From what I've read it would seem seat belts would have saved them. Of course with their age there's no telling. I do know they had a hell of a lot better chance than being thrown completely out of the vehicle. I don't understand why people just don't wear seat belts. It's annoying for like the first few days. After that it doesn't feel right to ride without a seat belt.
