<p>Pete Dechat is a 21<sup>st</sup> Century Job. On July 10, 2007, a Nascar plane crashed into his neighbor’s home, killing a young mother and her son, and both pilot and passenger in the plane. The fuel tank broke loose from the plane, crashed into Pete’s home and exploded. His four-year-old daughter Gabi died. Pete got seriously burned trying to find and rescue her.</p><p>Pete was burned on 96% of his body. They said he would not live. They said he would not see. They said he would not walk. They were wrong.</p><p>Pete was comatose for five months, during which time his then-wife left him for another life partner.</p><p>The coma was induced to keep him from dying from the pain. The lead doctor said there was 132% chance that Pete would die. Those odds were figured by adding the 96% to his age, which was 36 at the time of the fire. The doctor said no one survives burns that extensive. They didn’t know Pete. He since married Judy and fathered a daughter, Beka, who is a delight. His story has inspired thousands of people in various countries.</p>
