Doctor Carrie Madej plane crash

I went over this story quite carefully to see if it was actually important and determine whether or not the plane she was in was CIA crashed. That's going to be hard to determine because it was a Piper PA-24 which has a good safety record, but it is old. It is also the type of plane an ordinary recreational pilot would fly (If it was a Burt Rutan design I would have called BS because nitpicky esoteric freaks fly those and they won't have engine outages).

That said, this is sounding an awful lot like the John Denver crash, where Denver, who did not drink (at least not much) was said to have been too drunk to fly so he took off without fuel. In reality, Denver had recently come out against the entire environmentalist mantra, stating that as he flew over the countryside things never looked better and that the entire mantra had to be a lie. He was dead a week later.

John Denver was flying a Burt Rutan designed Long EZ which has a phenomonal safety record, and is a plane a geek would fly. There's simply no way he ran out of gas. I guess that lie (running out of fuel) was the only lie that could have been fronted to explain how a crash happened in one of those.

So what happened to Carrie?

My hunch: The Piper PA-24 is such a well known plane that every possible sabotage method that could possibly be known is in the CIA handbook, and she was probably made a target. Yes, the PA-24 is old, but not THAT old so the crash is very suspicious considering who she was...

in Denvers case, every plane would be a little bit unique because all of the Burt Rutan planes are made individually, so the CIA opted for a fuel outage. I'd say Denver was crashed intentionally 100 percent, and Doctor Carrie was probably sabotaged at about a 90 percent probability.
