released hours ago. Junior Senator Hillary Clinton
of New York was flying cross-country last night in her private
plane and was forced to make a emergency landing in southern
Texas 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.
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. (photos following)
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.
