N/A "Bad luck dude." Luckily he wasn't a pilot.

Thomas L. Cook, who died at 54 when he was fatally hit by a car Sept. 11, spent much of his life recovering from the misadventures that plagued him even in the womb.

"He was kinda accident-prone, I swear to God, even before he was born," said his sister, Mady Eitani.

"He was nearly miscarried. He had serious accidents as a child. Crazy things. Broke his collarbone. He was hit in the head one time by a teeter-totter and had to have blood drained out of his skull. Wrong place, wrong time. Story of his life."

I think the story of his life is the guy never learned to look for traffic.

Instead of "bad luck" I thought maybe the dude never learned early life lessons like how to slow slow down, obey red lights, check in all directions for oncoming traffic? ...where the brake pedal is? How to judge distances? Maybe he had a vision problem - no depth perception?

"We jest have bad luck."

No. You jest keep on making a lot of bad decisions.
