"Former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens may have been on a small airplane that crashed in a remote part of southwestern Alaska, according to media reports Tuesday morning. POLITICO has not confirmed the whereabouts of Stevens (R-Alaska), the longest serving Republican in Senate history, but the Associated Press, quoting a U.S. official, is reporting that Stevens may have been aboard the plane, which crashed in inclement weather. An Alaska TV station could not confirm whether or not Stevens was on board the plane. Former NASA Administrator Sean O’Keefe may have also been aboard the airplane. "

it's a series of tubes

Today I read that this is his second plane crash.

8/10/2010 12:03:52 PM

Kind of ironic that the ex head of NASA was on the plane as well.

8/10/2010 1:21:21 PM

Just confirmed that he passed away.

8/10/2010 2:20:18 PM

All the tubes say he is dead.

8/10/2010 2:43:44 PM

Damn. CNN says that Sean O'Keefe survived the crash.

8/10/2010 4:20:54 PM

I heard on the radio that they crashed directly into a mountain.

8/10/2010 4:22:24 PM

Also a little ironic given that the primary airport in Anchorage is also named after him. RIP.

8/10/2010 5:09:06 PM

Look, if he had been in a plane named "Never Crashes"...then yeah, that would be ironic. But an Airport named after him? That...isn't even a coincidence. Wtf.

8/10/2010 5:33:38 PM

No, kind of weird that a guy with the airport named after him died .... meh, nevermind. Just thought it was odd when I was there last month that the airport was still named after him given all the scandals from years past.

It's like rain...on your wedding day.

8/10/2010 6:41:35 PM

kinda ironic his first wife died in a plane crash and the dem senator that defeated him father died in a plane crash......JFK Jr also died in a plane crash....

8/10/2010 6:49:24 PM

It's fucking amazing that a bunch of rich people that fly a lot die in plane crashes.

Dead crooks make me happy.

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you needed was ten billion in pork barrel spending.

8/10/2010 9:24:18 PM

I expect his ashes to be stored in a series of tubes.

8/11/2010 2:27:07 AM

Ted Stevens the King of Pork. I honestly can not believe that even after teh corruption allegations (one of which is that he used tax payer money to build an extra wing to his mansion) the voters in AK STILL nearly reelected him.

8/11/2010 11:06:44 AM

people in nc keep electing marc basnight, if you are bringing money in people will vote for you

You are talking about a State level Senator for the 1st district in comparison to a Federal Senator in DC. I have never voted or have had the option to vote for Basnight as I do not live in Manteo. This is not the case of any given AK citizen. Your comparison is null and void.

8/11/2010 2:24:30 PM

its the same thing though. if you are getting money and building projects for your constituents they will vote for you.
