Former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens killed in plane crash?

[XtennesseeX]

This isn't confirmed, but a former aide is saying he was killed. I remember him making quite a bit of news last election cycle.

It's evidently true.

I figured it would have been in the Alaskan Triangle, but it was in Southwest Alaska.

Wow. Sean O'Keefe was also reportedly killed.

I thought it was an interesting assortment of names.

I read somewhere that he had survived another crash in the 1970s up there. Evidently liked to go to Alaska to fish and the NASA fellow was routinely his colleague on those.

I hate hearing these things. God Bless their families.

Now that link is saying it is not confirmed weather Ted Stevens was killed or not. Kind of shi**y for CBS to jump the gun on something like that.

Yeah, the same with Sean O'Keefe. Now everyone is saying he is missing and there are conflicting reports as to whether he is dead or not.

I suppose we'll find out eventually.

All networks now confirming that he was indeed killed in the plane crash, sad.

 

[XtennesseeX]

After everything has settled - Sen. Ted Stevens, is in fact, dead. Sean O'Keefe and his son are both alive. The weather was reportedly pretty bad.

single-engine float plane apparently slammed into a low mountainside in high winds, dense clouds and rain.

Rest in peace, Ted. Let us hope the internet really IS a series of tubes.
