Taking to social media, he wrote, “We’ve all been on flights .. we’ve all crossed our fingers on take off and on landing .. we’ve all experienced that feeling of uneasiness when we experience turbulence..
We all know our thoughts are not for our own potential mortality .. but for our loved ones .. those we leave behind if something happens ..I am constantly on a plane. And I have also lived a life of extreme adventure and pitted myself against nature and potentially death .. but always at my own volition .. Something changed in me when my daughter was born .. pretty late in my life .. and suddenly mortality carried different meaning .. it was about caring about someone else ..”
