Daniel Prial, killed in NY helicopter crash, 'flying was his dream'
After 9/11, Daniel Prial chose his path: He wanted to go into the military. “It was a tough day for him,” recalls his father, Greg Prial. Greg Prial was working that day as a lieutenant with the FDNY, and his family hadn’t heard from him. The experience marked Danny, and lit a fire. “It kind of set him on a path,” his father said. That path, filled with hard work, led to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and a career as a Black Hawk helicopter pilot for the U.S. Army. “His dream was to fly,” Greg Prial said, “and he got that.”
