A good friend of mine, Capt Jenna Wilcox died recently in a freak accident in Scotland. She and her husband both returned from Afghanistan a few weeks ago and were on vacation together in Scotland. Apparently they had to change out a tire, but couldn't store it in the trunk because it was full of luggage, so Jenna was holding it on her lap. For some unknown reason, the tire exploded. Jenna died from her injuries about 5 days later in a local hospital. Her husband Scott sustained minor injuries.
She was a Capt in the US Air Force. She was a Civil Engineer and her recent deployment was supporting the Army.
