Unless the animals opened his seatbelt and dragged his dead body out of the airplane, and very far away from the wreckage, I seriously doubt he died in the crash. He must have lived and tried to walk out, and either died trying or was grabbed by a bear or mountain lion. He must have walked some good distance before he died, else they would have found the wreckage by now.

Too bad, he was a great inspiration to boldly go where no man has gone before, at his age, he had no reason to fake his death.

Ken Lay however, I'm sure is alive and well in Tahitti... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />


Bones of dead range cows wind up in my yard all the time. Cow dies, coyotes and other critters tear up the carcass and wander off with bits, my dogs find them and bring them home By that time the bones are miles away from where the cow went down. A seat belt wouldn't stop that process.

But they still haven't found any human remains, either in the aircraft or outside it. The airplane hit the mountain hard, tumbled down and the engine was found 300 feet away.

Word is he had two mistresses, lots of money missing from his bank accounts and a $50 million life insurance policy. And his final words that he was scouting dry lake beds sent the searchers looking in the wrong direction.
