you know when I was when I was recovering and the NTSB investigator was calling me and talking to me on the phone and she said would you be willing to help us with some safety products and to talk about your accident? I was like absolutely and she goes well that's great because usually she goes we find when there's someone that survives an accident it's so much more powerful and gets through so many more pilots.

And she goes, and with CO, nobody ever lives.

Hello, and thank you for joining us for episode 90 of the Aviation News Talk podcast.

I'm your host, Max Trescott.

And you just heard Dan Bass, who passed out from

carbon monoxide poisoning on his third flight of the day and somehow survived a crash that occurred

while he was still unconscious. And today I'll be sitting down with Dan to talk about the events that

led up to his crash, what he's learned since the crash about carbon monoxide poisoning, and what

you can do to avoid a similar accident in the future.
