Stolen Plane Flies Through Power Lines in Texas and Crashes, Pilot Vanishes
AP ^ | 3/01/04

LAKE JACKSON, Texas (AP) - A stolen single-engine airplane flew through power lines, blacking out about 11,000 customers, and then crashed, and the pilot vanished.


The FBI joined the investigation and planned to question the owners of other aircraft based at the Brazoria County Airport, said Louis Jones, the county aviation director.

Investigators believe the thief broke into 16 hangars early Sunday before finding a Cessna 172 he was able to commandeer, Jones said.

Would you know if that's close to the BASF plant where the security guard was shot, purportedly by a "Middle Eastern" man?

Isn't this close to that Texas chemical plant wherein a guard was shot and the assailant escaped?
