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 likely
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.
