Continuing my occasional series on right-wing politicians involved in fatal or near-fatal accidents and/or who meet violent deaths etc, from the BBC:
Former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, 86 [the longest-serving Republican in the history of the Senate], has died in a plane crash in Alaska while en route to a fishing trip. Former Nasa chief Sean O'Keefe was also aboard the small plane with his teenage son but both survived. Officials said five people had been killed and four had survived - with two badly hurt... Mr Stevens was one of two survivors of a 1978 plane crash* at Anchorage International Airport in Alaska that killed his wife, Ann, and several others.

Stevens, of course, shot to fame when he uttered those now immortal words "The Internet is not a truck you can dump stuff on; the internet is a series of tubes!"
