    More info there. Amazingly, he survived an earlier plane crash decades ago in which his first wife died. I think I'd have a lot of trouble getting on any type of plane if I went through that, though you don't have a lot of options living in Alaska. The father of one of Alaska's senators also died in a plane crash when he was Alaska's congressman.

    I guess he expected us to Vince Foster this news and turn in to a a conspiracy or something.

    Anyways, RIP.

    RIP... Even though both crashes were in small planes that has to be some long odds to have survived a plane crash and then end up dying in one in this age of GPS and doppler radar.

    Sarah Palin may have plotted his course.

    Flying in Alaska ups the odds considerably.

    I just can't bring myself to shed a tear for this guy. So, am I sorry to hear the world is now without Ted Stevens?
