Three Dead In Private Jet Crash Near Hobby Airport (11/22/04) All three people aboard a private jet died this morning when it clipped a light pole and crashed as it prepared to land in a thick fog at Hobby Airport. Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Roland Herwig said the Gulfstream G-1159A jet like the one pictured went down in an undeveloped area about 6:15 a.m. 1½ miles south of Hobby. The jet was approaching the runway when it clipped a light pole and crashed in southeast Houston, according to Roger Smith, a spokesman for the Houston Airport System. Herwig said the flight originated from Dallas Love Field. The plane's registered owner is Jet Place Inc. of Tulsa, Okla., he said. The identities of the three victims were not immediately known. Herwig said flight operations at Hobby were not affected by the crash. Rick Flanagan, Houston Fire Department assistant chief, said that it looked like the plane clipped one of the light poles along the heavily traveled Beltway 8 tollway. A portion of the road near the crash was closed
Jack Williams, a district chief with the Houston Fire Department, said a part of the jet's wing was located near the base of one of the light poles. He said that the wreckage extended about 1,000 yards from the pole into a field.
Weather officials said there was no rain in the area but a dense fog blanketed most of the area where the crash occurred.
Whoa...
What's that all about? How'd you hear that, KL?
I wish W would come home safely and then stay put for a while.
It was on FOX earlier.
Bush on a private jet? I thought he took air force 1 whenever he's going to fly somewhere.
I heard this on the radio too. All that stuff with the secret service yesterday, now this. I am afraid the long knives are out for our President. I'm with you. Get him home and keep him home.
Wait, Dubya wouldn't be taking some private jet out of little Love Field in Dallas. I don't believe this.
/i> It was an item on the Fox hourly news arounf 10
I thought that was strange too, and I was hoping FOX would report on it again and clarify why he would be flying on a private jet instead of AF1.
HW Bush was to be on the plane...not W.
it was former president george h.w. bush, not dubya.
This is Bush 41, not W. He was to fly out of Houston to Ecuador today.
i thought it was the ELDER Bush?
GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH
Not W, his dad.
Maybe they were talking about the elder Bush?
It just hit me that a plane from Dallas crashed going to pick up W on NOV. 22nd???????
OHHHHHHHHHHHH, FOX really needs to report better.
