U.S. Senator Unhurt in Air Crash
The Associated Press reports that New York
Senator Hillary Clinton, narrowly escaped
injury in the aircraft that she was piloting
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 that
pilot error contributed to the accident, and that
the senator was flying a single engine aircraft
in IFR [instrument flight rating] conditions while
only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rating).
The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to
insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground
was injured. Photograph below taken at the scene
shows the extent of damage to
Senator Clinton's aircraft.
She was very lucky.
