U.S.
Senator Unhurt in Air Crash
The Associated Press reports that New York
junior Senator Hillary Clinton, narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was flying
when she was forced to make an emergency landing in Southern New Jersey because
of bad weather.
National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a preliminary
determination pilot error contributed to the
accident,
and the senator was flying a single engine aircraft in IFR [instrument flight
rating] conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rating)
rating.
The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board.
No one on the ground was injured.
Photographs below were taken at the scene show the extent of damage to Senator
Clinton's aircraft.
She was very lucky.
I
don't care who you are ,
even a Clinton Democrat would smile at this 'cause they know this
is an aircraft suitable for this senator.
