    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.

    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?
