Kenya helicopter crash is tragic end to young entrepreneur's 'ultimate experiences' dream.
Asher Burke "lived with fearless courage and a passion for experiencing all of life’s adventures," his family said.
Burke returned to Kenya and bought a share in a camping lodge. He partnered with locals, including at a helicopter tour company, and set out to build his dream. “You just get in and take off and start flying,” Brett Stapper recalled. “You just fly and every 15 minutes or so you just get out — on a volcano you’ll stop, on a riverbed you’ll stop — and go and talk with a local tribe that probably have not had a lot of interaction with the modern world.”
Stapper sprang into action, and with the help of some well-connected friends was able to get the Kenyan military mobilized to search for the missing aircraft.By 3 a.m. on Monday, rescuers had located the wreckage. No one had survived the crash.
