But in 1975, the plane in which Pavarotti was returning from the U.S. crashed during its landing at the Milan airport and broke in two. Pavarotti and the rest of the passengers were, as he saw it, miraculously spared. Whether as a result of the crash or not, Pavarotti seems to have made some kind of peace with mortality...
