Nicki Minaj releases Megan Thee Stallion diss track Big Foot and hits low: 'Why did you lie about your lipo? Going back to the ramp that I knew defeated me last time brought back all the nerves but seeing all my friends cheering and giving me confidence made me know today is the day. Jamie has written this in a very "matter of fact" way - his journey is humbling and an inspiration to anyone.Yet against the odds, he remained calm and escaped via the only way possible: by climbing onto the wing of the aircraft. Jamie had a survival rate of less than five percent but somehow managed, against all odds, to survive almost certain death. It took blood sweat and tears to get to where I am today, but pushing past all of that and getting up in the morning determined to become better each day will help you not just in your sport but in life. Two weeks in, while on the final stretch of a solo flight, his engine caught fire when he was 1,000ft above the ground.

As he climbed onto the wing, Jamie said he was hit by a 'tornado of fire' which he likened to a giant blowtorch, and the 'worst pain' he has experienced. I couldn’t think of anyone who could recover from the atrocities he succumbed to and to rebuild his life as to what it is today.

Whilst training for his private pilot’s licence in 2007, Jamie’s aircraft caught fire forcing him to make an emergency landing.
