Ebersol as Olbermann's mentor; was plane crash accidental?
Read Keith Olbermann's blog at msnbc.com today. He reveals that Ebersol, the sportcaster seriously injured in a plane crash, is the executive who brought Olbermann to MSNBC and ran interference for him with others who opposed Olbermann in the past.

Could the "accidental" plane crash have been meant as a warning to Olbermann, or a means of getting rid of a vocal supporter of Olbermann's at the network? Does anyone know who the unidentified passenger was?

2. Their methods are usually more direct than that.
But it still could be for other reasons that sending a message. If they were going after Olbermann I suspect it would be a direct attack.

Geez, everything that happens in the world is not connected to voter fraud. I'm sorry. Bush has committed war crimes and should be in jail, but come on folks, get a grip.

5. Plane ran off the runway and crashed in winter ice snow conditions in
Montrose (western slope of the Colorado Rockies). Somehow that doesn't scream NON-accidental to me!

8. You ask
"Could the "accidental" plane crash have been meant as a warning to Olbermann, or a means of getting rid of a vocal supporter of Olbermann's at the network? Does anyone know who the unidentified passenger was?"

That is a long, long reach.

15. I know, but...
I was reading an article just recently about all the mysterious deaths of people who have crossed the Bushes, including many plane crash victims. So I couldn't help but wonder...

19. What I wish I had time for are all the deaths of bio-chemists within
a period of time that was around the anthrax 9-11 WMD and enter Iraq time period. All kinds of high-up's died of 'a variety of' reasons . Those are the deaths that someone should research.

25. Wellstone may have been assassinated.
There is a lot to learn.

Starting with the 'FBI' near instantaneous appearance at the scene.

We may have to wait for one of the players to find his conscience.

It all starts with the revenge game, motive, benefit, history of assassinations, capability, willingness to control the country by murder. Those elements are all there.

And remote control of an aircraft is an absolute possibility.

It is said that a large commercial aircraft was flown from the U.S. to Australia by remote control.

Read about Dov Zokheim's company - before and after his time as the finanacial guy at the DOD during the time millions were lost.

16. I spoke with a pilot friend of mine, familiar with this airport
He went into a long detailed explanation of precisely why this is an unfortunate accident.

Very doubtful that experienced pilots are going to sacrifice themselves as a warning to Keith Olbermann. In the universe, there are no coincidences. But in our immediate lives, sometimes there just are.

I regret the loss of life in this tragedy. Let's not compound it by making a tinfoil farce of the situation.

20. They found Teddy Ebersol's body underneath the wreckage
earlier tonight. They theorize that he was thrown out of the plane and that other pieces of the wreckage landed on top of him, and then of course, there was the horrible fire that happened immediately after the crash. I just think that small, private chartered jets are more likely to crash for any number of reasons. End of story. But I'll think twice before I climb on one again in the near future!

23. No tin foil hat on this one.
If they wanted Olbermann's mouth shut, he would have had it shut. I think it's just a tragic accident.
