Just as an addendum I had a suspicion that the Chris Hunter could have been the son of "original Captain Kirk" Jeffrey Hunter, but he was still posting to Facebook earlier this week so you can cross him off the Chris Hunter list.

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted August 14 On 13/08/2024 at 06:38, Gisooo said: American stuntman Kim Kahana (Wiki) dead at 94 https://m.imdb.com/name Kahana has a very "colorful" life story, all the usual claims in there (was shot during the Korean War and buried in a mass grave, was saved by a penny in his pocket, was left blind for two years by a grenade explosion). All hard to disprove obviously. But one claim that is repeated everywhere about him (Wikipedia, IMDB, his Hollywood Reporter obit, his granddaughter's reminisces of him) is that: Quote In 1955, Kahana survived a plane crash in the state of Texas that killed the other 32 people on board. Surviving this crash and his experiences in Korea imbued Kahana with a personal life philosophy of, "Maybe I'm right where I ought to be." I can't find any evidence of this though. A plane crash killing 32 people is big news - it would be the fourth biggest civilian air fatality in Texan history, for instance, behind Braniff Flight 542 in 1959, Braniff Flight 352 in 1968 and Delta Air Lines Flight 191 in 1985. There were four reported fatalities involving military aircraft in Texas in 1955: a 17 November crash that killed 14 (no survivors), a 9 September crash that killed one (two survivors), a 25 May that killed 15 (no survivors) and a 6 January crash that killed two (no survivors). The Aviation Safety Network doesn't list anything for 1955 that matches this either. Obviously Kahana never gave any other information about the crash (month, what airline it was, etc), and a succession of credulous journos who interviewed him never asked follow-up questions. So unless someone has better research skills than me, can we safely declare him a bullshitter? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
