LOS ANGELES (KTLA) The crash that killed journalist Michael Hastings was ruled an accident by police, but conspiracy theories continued to circulate on Friday.
Hastings, 33, was killed in a fiery solo-vehicle crash in Hancock Park early Tuesday morning.
...Staff Sgt. Joseph Biggs told KTLA that he received an email from Hastings on Monday.
Biggs had known Hastings since 2008, when the journalist was embedded in his unit in Afghanistan.
On Monday morning, I woke up and I got an email, and its very panicked, Biggs said.
He was blind-copied on the email, which was sent to Hastings colleagues.
In part, it said that the feds were interviewing his close friends and associates, and that he was onto a big story and needed to get off the radar.
The FBI has denied that Hastings was ever under investigation.
It alarmed me very much, Biggs said. I just said it doesnt seem like him. I dont know, I just had this gut feeling and it just really bothered me, he said.
The email was sent just before 1 p.m. on Monday, 15 hours before the deadly crash.
Breaking news photographer Scott Lane happened to be less than a mile from the scene of the crash, and shot video of the fiery aftermath.
Video taken from his cars dashcam also caught what appeared to be Hastings Mercedes minutes before the crash, speeding through a red light.
More than 30 seconds pass after Hastings car goes by, and no other cars pass through the intersection.
Theres no cars that are following him, Lane said. He flies by and 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds goes by
No cars are following him.

Perhaps I missed it, but this is the first time I’ve read that the brake lights were on.
How do we know that the scene of the accident wasn’t staged...
Michael Hastings died in a car crash that had all the markings of a sophisticated computer hack, a former cybersecurity adviser to President George W. Bush said this week.

Wasnt a heart attack. We know what it was, and we even know fairly well when it was administered and by who.
It IS here on FR. FR is one of the deepest archives of mayhem on the net.
The guy was a veteran reporter (embedded?) in Afghanistan. If he was scared enough to sound panicked and go into hiding, would he be drinking himself into stupor and go low-flying for fun?

If you asked me this question ten years ago i’d have a different answer.
And on a corner that had little traffic. The story is he was staking out Justin Bieber. Does anyone know where J was at the time?
Ummmmm...............
The coroner supposedly ID’ed him by finger prints. How finger prints survived that inferno is beyond belief.
He could have had a RPG shot at him....and he could have been droned.
The Austin, TX evening news tonight was talking about the 4th celebrations and that they were adding **more** drones. There was one photographed downtown a month ago during some celebration that many said was faked but it wasn’t. If they didn’t believe in one then how are they going to deny *more*?
Just wow.
Someone has to know where he had come from and where he was headed.
Cars, including throttle-by-wire on late model expensive vehicles are almost exclusivly controlled by a computer.
say the CIA or the NSA or the FBI or the AAS or the DDR or the ISA or the OSI or the SSQ or the FFR or the TKR or the GHA or the BBA or the FGA or the LLO or the WWQ or the GLA or the DSA or the WWA or the MMS or the EES or the SSJ or the BBX or the BBJ or the sfg or the SDA or the KLA were to be able to reprogram or better yet remotely control the cars ECU with maybe a small incendiary device placed next to the gas tank.....what could happen?
"THE" Richard Clarke?
