But, I own a similar aircraft to the one that crashed and read the NTSB and AOPA synopsis of the accident. The two pilots seemed to have simply screwed up the approach to Eveleth. Takes team work to execute a non-precision VOR procedure with one guy flying and the other double checking altitude,speed and in this case VOR course displacement. Also, they had no back-up from ATC center radar. Much more difficult than flying into SFO or LAX and being under constant surveillance from approach control. Paul Wellstone`s death was such a tragedy...he was a voice for the underprivileged and spoke out against Iraq, long before it was fashionable to do so. I hope Norm Coleman goes down to defeat next year......just a pretty-boy weenie who lip-syncs with Cheney. Larry;

At that time the bridge in question had been on a list of "substandard" bridges for over five years. The fact that our bridges are crumbling is not news unfortunately. We even know which ones are most likely to collapse. I fear we are going to have quite a few more of these before we decide to actually fix them.

Great people. My heart breaks for them....

I had the good fortune of interviewing him and his wife, Sheila, just days after he launched his first U.S. Senate campaign back in 1992. He was the real thing. They were so grass-roots and unknown that they met me in a Denny's on the outskirts of Minneapolis for the interview. No one recognized him, no one had any idea who he was. A few months after that, Wellstone came up with that fabulous TV ad blitz that played off Michael Moore's "Roger and Me" only using his Republican opponent and Senate powerhouse Rudy Boschwitz as the butt of the "where's Rudy" joke. It was a genius campaign and along with his brains and common man sensibilities, helped him win the seat. I miss him terribly. Oh, Paul Wellstone.

When I retired in 80, the Coast Guard was responsie for inspecting bridges without adequate funds as per usual. I'm waiting to hear what they have to say. Amen and amen.
