The Associated Press reports that New York's Senator Hillary Clinton narrowly escaped injury as the aircraft that she was piloting 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 craft in IFR [instrument flight rating] conditions while only having obtained a VFR [visual flight rating] rating.

The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to lack of fuel onboard. The Senator was fortunate to have escaped without injury, and no one on the ground was injured.

Photographs taken at the scene show the extent of damage to Senator Clinton's aircraft.


I got it in e-mail some time last year, but I never saw it here.  Dupe or not, it's still funny. I searched for "clinton AND plane" and "clinton AND crash" in both active and archived topics.  Found nothing.  oops

This is what Dupe x1000?

Oh my god it crashed AGAIN? This is like the 10th time this year. That woman needs a better pilot.

Make that 1001.

Dude, you have over 2400 posts.  Haven't you seen this at least twice already?

embarrassing....ibtl

Quit jackin' us around like that!!! There NO way karmic justice could ever be dispensed to the level of her getting what she deserves. Life is simply not that "fair". Now, if Hillary was a truly great leader, then she'd already be dead. Only the good die young...
