kallend 2,230 #1 December 29, 2008 CHRISTMAS CONSPIRACY THEORIES CATCH CONNELL CRASH www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/1285-full.html#199464) Michael Connell, 45, an instrument rated private pilot flying since 2006, was also a Republican media consultant subpoenaed for expert testimony by a lawsuit alleging electronic voting fraud in 2004, and that, along with reported threats against him, has brought additional attention to his death last week in a plane crash. Connell was flying alone in a Piper Cherokee Six Turbo Saratoga on approach to Akron-Canton Airport Friday, Dec. 19, when he crashed two miles short of the runway in the front lawn of a vacant house and was killed. The FAA's preliminary report on the accident includes very little additional information (which is not at all unusual) other than weather, which it lists as "192251Z 30011 9 BKN005 OVC 01/M01 A2978." The report suggests very low clouds, near-freezing temperatures and a tight temperature/dewpoint spread. But, in a world of conspiracy theorists, that's just half of the story. Connell was, according to CBS, the chief IT consultant for Karl Rove and reportedly built a Web site that carried now missing e-mails sought by investigators looking into the firing of U.S. Attorneys. Now, after Connell's fatal accident, CBS affiliate WOIO has reported that "an anonymous close friend" warned Connell "at least twice about flying his plane because his plane might be sabotaged," and that Connell himself had "twice in the past two months" canceled flights "because of suspicious problems with his plane."... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pirana 0 #4 December 29, 2008 Not to say every plane crash is a sabotage event; but messing with people's air travel is one of the favorite methods in the dirty tricks bag. Soveriegn leaders not liked by the US government tend to die at an unexpected rate in plane crashes. I'll consult my sources for more specifics, but I remember seeing a list not long ago." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rock 'n roll stars seem to die in plane crashes at a high rate too. Perhaps it's the country-western or hip-hop folks sabotaging their planes? Or maybe it's just that government leaders and rock stars spend a lot of time traveling in airplanes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would mean Patsy Cline was a suicide. The plot thickens... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,173 #7 December 30, 2008 I knew it! I bet Al Gore, the 9/11 demolition team and the sniper on the grassy knoll were involved as well. I mean, can anyone explain why Connell had cancelled two flights in the past two months because of suspicious problems with his plane? No? Then you might as well admit that there is a conspiracy that no one has the intelligence or guts to face! Except me, of course. And the other brave intelligent people out there.

I have been reading many different articles about this ever since it happened."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
