The Day the Whistleblowers Died

I'm going to begin compiling a master list of notable people who died in small plane crashes.

I was meaning to do so for a while, the numbers are quite frankly staggering.

Looking up the final fate of Senator John Tower of the Tower and Church Commissions, liberal Republican and longtime thorn in the side of the Bush/Reagan machine had me finally convinced...

It's not just Buddy Holly, Richie Vallens, Lynrd Skynrd and the Big Bopper.

The mere fact that John F Kennedy Jr. died in a ridiculous small plane crash 30 years after Ted Kennedy very NEARLY died in a small plane crash that ended up breaking his back and putting him in the hospital for a year should be enough to make a start on; them you have lone-dissenting Warren Commissioner and House Majority Leader Hale Boggs disappeared and was never found whilst making a campaign stop with Senator Al Beiliek Sr. right before the 1972 election, shortly after comparing Hoover's FBI to the Gestapo on the floor of the House; Ron Brown died in a plane crash on a plane meant for Hilary and Chelsea right before the 1996 election; Mel Carnahan died in a small plane crash in 2000 whilst running against John Ashcroft and won in spite of being dead; the longtime national chair and founder of the 9/11 victims families association died in a small plane crash; Dorothy Hunt died in a LARGE plane crash while carrying a suitcase filled with $50,000 in cash.

Almost makes you wonder if perhaps the most notable thing about the four hijacked flights on 9/11 was that none of them were carrying a national politician....
