Ex Senator Ted Stevens Killed in Alaska Plane Crash

A source tells CNN that former Senator Ted Stevens, 86, died in a plane crash Monday in Alaska. The private plane was carrying 9 passengers, including former NASA administrator Sean O’Keefe, when it went down near Dillingham.

 A spokesman for the Alaska Air National Guard said at least 3 people survived with injuries and others may be alive. O’Keefe’s condition is unknown.

EADS North America confirmed O’Keefe, their CEO, was on board the aircraft. Stevens’ family has refused to comment on reports he was on the plane.

Stevens, also known as Uncle Ted, served more time in the Senate than any other Republican. He was convicted of making false statements on financial disclosers in October 2008 and subsequently lost a bid for re-election. A federal judge later dismissed the conviction citing misconduct of the prosecutor.
