The Associated Press reports that New York junior senator Hillary Clinton
narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft that she was piloting when she was
forced to make an emergency landing in southern Texas because of bad
weather. National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a
preliminary determination that pilot error contributed to the accident, and
that the senator was flying in IFR conditions while only having obtained a
VFR, single engine land rating. The absence of a post-crash fire was
unlikely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was
injured. Pictures taken at the scene show the extent of damage to Senator
Clinton's aircraft.
