"Pilot
error caused Wellstone crash." ... "Pilots flying
too slowly on a landing approach caused the charter-plane crash that killed
Sen. Paul Wellstone, the pilots and five others last year, the National
Transportation Safety Board concluded Tuesday." ... "By voice vote, the
five-member board also adopted staff findings that the pilots lacked proper
training in crew coordination and were probably so inattentive or distracted
that they didn't react to the speed drop until too late." ... "Mild icing
from a light snowfall did not affect the descent of the twin-prop King
Air A100 before it crashed on Oct. 25, 2002, 2 miles southeast of the Eveleth-Virginia
Municipal Airport, in northern Minnesota, the panel concluded." -By

"Tone
of Wellstone memorial generates anger: Ventura
blasts 'political rally'." ... "The partisan tone of the memorial service
for the late Sen. Paul Wellstone stirred anger Wednesday in some Republicans,
political consultants and radio talk show hosts who say some of the comments
and behavior were inappropriate." ... "Some Republicans in Minnesota demanded
equal time from the local television stations that carried last night's
memorial, attended by a crowd of more than 20,000. But officials at local
television stations pointed out that they will cover President Bush's expected
trip to Minnesota this weekend, when he will campaign for Republican Norm
Coleman." ... "Democrats, who initially dismissed the criticism, later
apologized for some activity, but said the event was unscripted and reflected
the strong emotions people felt about Wellstone's death."

- "Sen.
Wellstone's Legacy: Mark Shields, David Brooks,
and the Washington Post's Dan Balz share personal and political reflections
on the late Sen. Paul Wellstone (D-Minn.), who died in a plane crash in
Minnesota Friday." ... "DAVID BROOKS: ... One of the things that really
impressed me, and this as a senator, he wasn't a particularly good senator
when he started; made a lot of unnecessary enemies, didn't really play
the game. But he decided pretty quickly that he didn't want to just be
a noble loser. He wanted to actually get some things done and he made some
allies; he worked with people like Jesse Helms, who he earlier said he
despised; worked with John Ashcroft, won support from veterans groups,
not automatic. So he really improved as a senator and was always a man
of conviction, always very popular with conservatives." -PBS.org

Wellstone [Minnesota Democrat] killed in plane crash."

wife Sheila, and a daughter, Marcia. Three unnamed staff members and two
crew members were also reported dead." ... "The senator's death recalls
the October 2000 plane crash that killed Mel Carnahan, Missouri's Democratic
governor, who was campaigning for Senate. Mr Carnahan remained on the ballot
and won the election, defeating his opponent, then-senator John Ashcroft."
