Plane that was supposed to carry former president crashes

A private plane crashed near Houston's Hobby Airport Monday. And it was a plane that was coming to Houston to transport former President Bush to a conference in Equador.

The plane went down Monday morning near Highway 288 and Beltway 8.

Former President Bush suspendeded his trip to Ecuador because of the crash. A conference organizer says the plane should have flown the ex-president from Houston. Houston District Fire Chief Jack Williams said that the twin-engine Gulfstream jet arriving from Dallas Love Field apparently clipped a tall light tower at a Beltway 8 toll plaza, shearing off a wing. He says the severed wing rests near the base of the tower.

Authorities have shut down Beltway 8 on both directions near Cullen. There is debris scattered across the lanes. Traffic is being directed off the Beltway and onto Cullen Road and Telephone Road.

Fire crews were able to douse the flames. Three people were on board. All three victims, two men and a woman, have been recovered. There were no survivors.

There are some reports of cars have suffered damage from debris, but no injuries on the ground have been reported.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Roland Herwig says the Gulfstream jet went down about 6:15am, one-and-a-half miles south of Houston's Hobby Airport.

Herwig says the Gulfstream G-1159-A flight originated at Dallas Love Field. He says the plane's registered owner is Jet Place Incorporated of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Houston Fire Department assistant chief, Rick Flanagan, 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.

Airport officials reported that the plane that was on approach to Hobby when it went down. There was a lot of fog and mist during the crash. There's no official word if that played a role in the fatal crash.

The post time would have reflected the timing of the first shot to JFK. 11/22/1963 1:30EST. Weird, huh?

A Gulfstream is a reliable and fast aircraft. Think Mercedes...

I believe it is a Hebrew thing, that is habit for some Christins.

Some people write 7 or 7 with the - through it, same diff. IMO as is G-d or God.

Let's not get into a Dr. Rice or is it Condi debate this early on a Monday boys.

Sorry, rough night.

I wonder where in South American #41 was going and why, maybe this delay was a good thing. "Cept three people lost their lives.

O.K. but even MB's break down I spent years in the car repair world and worked on just about everything from A to Z and they ALL breakdown at some point.

Of course since the crew is dead the blame will be placed with them.

Prayers to All involved
