that around the time of the accident, he went for a run about 2 miles away from the scene. And it was really windy.

"FWIW: On day Declan died, I went for run 2 miles from practice b/w 3:45-4:30. Windy, w/some ridiculously powerful gusts. Intermittent, tho."

But he still went for a run.

And I'm not trying to compare running on the ground to being in a lift 40 feet up. I'm just wondering, if it's so "obviously extraordinarily windy" at that time, why go for a run? Is Walters nutty?
