United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon believes further investigation is necessary to uncover the truth behind a 1961 plane crash in which Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold and 15 others died.
Questions remain about a possible aerial attack or other interference, Ban said.
But Ban said in a letter to the U.N. General Assembly circulated Monday that an independent review of new information about the mysterious crash put to rest claims that Hammarskjold was assassinated after surviving the crash.
Ban called for countries to disclose relevant records related to the crash.
Hammarskjold's plane, a DC-6 known as the Albertina, crashed Sept. 18, 1961, in the African bush in Northern Rhodesia, today's Zambia, during a peace mission to newly independent Congo.
The crash has long been shrouded in mystery. The lone survivor reported that there were explosions aboard the plane before it hit the ground, and speculation has raged that the plane was shot down, or that Hammarskjold was the subject of an assassination plot. . .

It was aliens.
The plane was shot down by aliens.
Go ahead and piss away a few million dollars that you could be used to rape the hungry (or whatever it is the UN is in to these day) - but you’ll end up concluding:
It was aliens.
The plane was shot down by aliens.

Comment from former stenographer of state, “That was a long time ago and what difference does it make now?” Maybe she doesn’t want anybody looking in to Ron Brown’s downed plane.

We knew back when this happened that he was murdered...
I was in high school and I remember he did something or wanted to do something good that some other people didn’t “like”...
so when he died it was a given that he was murdered...

Seems like Spanky could focus on other priorities like maybe UN corruption?

54 years later. A bit late is it not? Plus, this is the UN, so any investigation they do will result in them covering up the truth. They can’t handle the truth.

Excellent! I’m behind him all the way. Anything to keep the UN distracted from their usual mess.
