But, the pilot who was ready to die for them is at home - recovering from 10 stab wounds. We asked him about his condition:

Howell Grange, Pilot
"I still can't believe it myself, Jules. Today makes it a week. And this morning I get up to post a little Facebook post there and then just try to give the country, how my mental state is that I am happy, you know? And I know they take it hard and I can't blame nobody now that it happened. And, we just have to move forward."

Jules Vasquez:
"How's your recovery going?"

Howell Grange, Pilot
"Overwhelmed. Everybody coming to visit me. Everybody bring me gifts. Everybody want to bring food. But I can't eat right now., da lone soup right now. . Soups, so I will slim down right now. Slim down time. Lone oats."

Grange's employer, Tropic Air has committed to support and assist him throughout his recovery.
