Three months ago, the CEO of Total, Christophe de Margerie, dared utter the phrase heard around the petrodollar world, "There is no reason to pay for oil in dollars," as we noted here. Today, RT reports the dreadful news that he was killed in a business jet crash at Vnukovo Airport in Moscow after the aircraft hit a snow-plough on take-off

How could the oil companies do it?
Or why would the Russias to it?
some times a cigar is just a cigar, but in this case, somehow I doubt it. More information needed.

How often do planes hit snowplows?
is there any downside to this?
Who was driving the snow plough, and did that driver get out in time....
Maybe there are still some competent folks at the CIA after all.
Ping.
“Can we live without Russian gas in Europe? The answer is no. Are there any reasons to live without it? I think – and I’m not defending the interests of Total in Russia – it is a no,” the Total boss told Reuters back in summer. “
nope he died too
Not often. My point exactly.
Had a friend once who hit a 747 with a baggage lift in Toronto. It was career ending.

People in the US don’t know the company Total. This is a huge power play if it wasn’t an accident. It can cause a power shift.
He is one of those “Bilderbergers”
Well, I worked a commuter into Mosinee, WI back in the 70's that did.
Plows are normally not allowed on active runways until all local traffic is notified, but there are many ways f---ups can happen, and it did there. Operations at Mosinee was required to advise us (ARTCC) of plowing, but didn't, so I couldn't warn the commuter. Damage to both, minor injury to plow driver.

Zerohedge - a good site with interesting information, but endlessly bearish and almost as conspiratorial as InfoWars.
If you take Zerohedge too seriously you’d have completely missed out on years of stock market run up, have piles of gold under your mattress (and have lost money on it), believe RT is a legitimate news source, that the world is revolving around some petrodollar conspiracy that Russia, China and the likes of Iran are heroically trying to break up (which ZH seems to believe is coming at any moment), and otherwise believe that all US wars are a result of trying to prevent anyone from going away from fiat currency (which they strongly insinuate is a Jewish plot).
Again, good site for the ugly side of supposedly rosy BLS numbers, but hard to take too seriously much of the time.
How many NASCAR drivers does it take to set a jet driver on fire?
Just Juan
The CEO was doing a 27 billion dollar deal with China and Russia.
If a Pro US CEO is installed then it is perhaps a good assumption the US did the hit.
Was there any snow?
You ask what should have been the first question on the thread. Slap me silly for not thinking of it.
