On today's edition of cnn.com, there is a link to "Nominate Your Hero". You, Marcus Schrenker, could have been my hero - the gusto, the James Bond-like plan of faking your own death... brilliant.
But, sir, your complete failure in execution baffles me. You had a great idea, but you took the amount of time a graduating high school senior spends on math homework drawing up your plan. First, putting the plane on auto-pilot... what were you thinking? Did you think you suddenly flew through a time portal to 1930 where forensic science involved poking a dead guy with a stick? Second, how were you going to explain the lack of body? Wouldn't it have made more sense to pretend you were bailing out and everyone would assume the body was missing, presumed dead? Were you hoping for a fiery inferno and that they'd think your body somehow completely burned up in the flames? That doesn't really happen to small planes in what I like to call the real world... Third, your escape/hide plan was juvenile. If you're going to create national news, maybe have a better on-the-run plan than injuring yourself skydiving and checking into a hotel claiming to have been in a canoeing accident? C'mon, you didn't even make this fun, you could have been on the run for weeks before they definitively knew you were alive. Hell, the unabomber evaded capture for twenty years! You couldn't even make it 24 hours without being identified. Poor effort sir, poor effort.
Marcus Schrenker, you could have been my hero. Instead, you are a man with a great idea but lousy, lousy execution.
