A plane carrying U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy from western Massachusetts to his home on the coast was struck by lightning Saturday and had to be diverted to New Haven, Conn., his spokeswoman said.
The eight-seat Cessna Citation 550 plane lost all electrical power, including communications, and the pilot had to fly the plane manually, according to spokeswoman Melissa Wagoner. No one was hurt.

I don't want to see anything happen to the old fool, either. Yeah, part of it is that I can't cold-bloodedly wish someone dead, but mostly it's the idea that he goes on with all his drunken, moronic bluster all the while knowing that he wasn't even worth the price of a bullet. Let him go on and get older and older making a supreme public spectacle of himself. Wherever Old Joe is now, he's got to be thinking, "Only the idiot lived!"

The eight-seat Cessna Citation 550 plane lost all electrical power, including communications, and the pilot had to fly the plane manually What a (typically) brilliant statement from the press! I presume that they mean the autopilot was disabled. Otherwise, I picture the pilot outside flapping his arms towing the jet???
