reminds me of the TWO senators (democratic) of course that have been killed at the perfect moment and with NO real explanations:
FREAK ACCIDENT

Salem bin Laden came to an "unexpected dead end" in a Texas pasture, 11 years after investing in Arbusto,
when the ultralight aircraft he was flying crashed into power lines near San Antonio on Memorial Day, 1988.

On the morning of May 29, 1988, almost immediately after takeoff, Salem bin Laden's aircraft struck and
became entangled in power lines 150 feet high before plunging to the ground.

"He was a very experienced pilot. He was a good pilot. We just can't understand why he decided to go right
instead of left," recalled airstrip owner and former Marine Earl May field, who cradled bin Laden, bleeding
from the ears.

That day, bin Laden took off in a southeasterly direction into the wind. He surprised onlookers by turning west
to ward power lines less than a quarter-mile away.

"Nobody could figure out why he tried to fly over the power lines," said Gerry Auerbach, 77, of New Braunfels,
a retired pilot.

Bin Laden had more than 15,000 hours of flight experience.

The police report concluded "freak accident."
