Former Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens dies in second plane crash

Ted Stevens was aboard a DeHavilland DHC-3T owned by GCI when it crashed. He was flying to a fishing lodge. Also aboard was Sean O’Keefe, a former NASA administrator, and three other people.

It is unknown why the plane crashed, but bad weather prevented Coast Guard and Alaska Air National Guard from reaching the crash site for over ten hours.

This is the second plane crash that Senator Stevens experienced and he had told people he knew he was going to die in a plane crash.

The New York Times reports: Mr. Stevens survived another plane crash that killed five of seven people on board, including his first wife, Ann, on Dec. 4, 1978. He was traveling on a Lear jet that crashed when landing at Anchorage International Airport, which was renamed Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in honor of the senator in 2000.
Before that 1978 crash, Mr. Stevens reportedly spoke of a premonition that he would die in a plane crash, a fate that is not unknown to many in Alaska who travel the vast state in small planes.

Please join me in prayer for the families of all of those who died in the crash. They need God's comfort.

The Lord said: “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you...”
