Members der oxenrig Posted July 19, 2007 Members Share Posted July 19, 2007 This was checked for accuracy on Snopes. I never realized that she had a pilot's license. U.S. Senator Unhurt in Air Crash The Associated Press reports that New York junior Senator Hillary Clinton, narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting when she 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 pilot error contributed to the accident, and the senator was flying a single engine aircraft 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 insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured. Photographs below were taken at the scene show the extent of damage to Senator Clinton's aircraft. She was very lucky . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
