AP- UPI- released two hours ago. Junior Senator Hillary Clinton of New York was flying cross-country last night in her private plane and was forced to make an emergency landing in southern Ohio because of bad weather. She was unhurt and the National Transportation Safety Board officials have determined that pilot error was the major cause of the accident. NTSB officials have also indicated that the Junior Senator was not wearing the appropriate seat belt or safety restraints, was flying in IFR conditions while only having obtained a VFR, single engine land rating, and will be cited for those violations accordingly. NTSB officials also say the absence of a post crash fire was due to the lack of sufficient fuel on board to sustain flight. There were no on ground fatalities. The accident scene pictures, including the wreckage of Hillary's plane, have been released prior to being returned to upper New York State for major repairs. See NTSB crash photo below.
Good picture. Captures the entire story.
On a morbid thought, too bad it's not a real news report. We still have to deal with the girch.
