Bad weather and poor visibility are being blamed for the recent
New York plane crash that killed Dr.
Richard Rockefeller. That's according to the latest report from the
National Transportation Safety Board. The great grandson of
Standard Oil co-founder
John D. Rockefeller and son of longtime New York banker
David Rockefeller was flying in dark, rainy and foggy conditions June
13th when his
Piper Meridian crashed just after takeoff from
Westchester County Airport. It narrowly missed a house. The
NTSB says clouds were about
200 feet above the ground and visibility was limited to a quarter-mile. The 65-year-old doctor had more than 5,
000 hours of flight experience but had to wear corrective lenses. Dr.
Rockefeller was the only person aboard. He was returning home to
Maine after celebrating father David Rockefeller's
99th birthday.
