The average age of death among Soviet men today is something like 48...and it's *all* thanks to vodka.A dunk snowplow driver is *absolutely* believable...as is negligence by one of more officials.

Sounds like an ATC screw-up. It probably has something to do with the relative status of snowplow drivers and the ATC.

Maria Bartiroma just said something about the plane being ‘shot down’..
WTH?

[Beagle8U]

“The snowplough driver blamed for the air crash which killed the chief executive of oil giant Total has denied being drunk at the wheel of his vehicle.”

An ‘air crash’ that involved a snowplow/driver obviously was the fault of the planes pilot for flying that low. Drunk or not, the snowplow driver shares no blame here.

Russians and Mexicans sure get a bad rap for drunkenness. Pity.

Christophe de Margerie was the CEO of TOTAL who famously said:

"There is no reason to pay for oil in dollars"

Then he dies in a collision with a snowplow.

A lot of very rich, very powerful people had excellent reasons to want him dead. At the very least we should look carefully at this apparent accident.
