In a way, the XF-11 did kill him, albeit indirectly. The addictions he developed to the drugs they put him on for pain (particularly codeine) following the crash were a large part of what ended his life.

With a sigh of relief, the manager quietly closed the newspaper and glanced across the street at the McDonalds. So close. If not but for a stroke of fate and a different decision, his life would have been so different. The gods must have smiled on me, he thought, as he strode over to the window. Today will be a good…
