Do you think that the downing of Ron Brown's plane was an accident or could it have been, as has recently been suggested, sabotage?

It is no secret that Ron Brown's days were cut short. Whenever a man of his understanding and alertness becomes the best there is: his days of usefullness suddendly dies. Reggie Lewis, MLK, Ron Brown and a multitude of others have long realized that a 1000 Newts are a mere pitance for their eternal silence.

Sabotage, definitely! It was too convenient. Now, no corruption trial,no dirty laundry for Bill Clinton. More bodies on a road covered with bodies that include big names like Vince Foster and Ron Brown, and little names like all the Arkansas state troopers and the kids who saw drug transfers and lots of others involved with Clinton who knew too much.

From all the facts I've gathered... it was sabotage. That plane was destroyed by someone. Who? We may never know.

I truly am saddened by the death of Ron Brown, however I think some things are too coincidental to be assumed "accidents"...

Rather me like it or not the reason why our communities are bankrupt is because of racist in America. We as Black Americans have held on to so-called high morals that have gotten us no where. The forces that hold us back are mostly racist. I feel that America has no intensions of being fair and while we still have a few resources we must pull them together. I am tired of being fair in an unfair environment and an environment that wants us to assimilate as individuals at the expense of the Black masses. We have been side tracked by bull liberalism and it is time to be create structures and institutions that value the quality of life from our perspective. White reality is a limited reality and we do not need to assimilate. As a people we are more developed in mind and body. Our atheletes are under attack because they are getting to much attention and they demonstrate the utmost of achievement. The Greeks and Romans were appreciated for their atheletic abilities and now America wants to downgrade Black athletes. The Apollo in Harlem will be giving a tribute to Ron Brown on April 25.

Given the history of this country and all the dirty tricks that have been played, both on us as black people and upon the American public, we'd have to be nuts to discount the idea of sabotage.
Perhaps the target wasn't even Ron Brown, but sabotage is a viable possibility - how convenient that Air Force planes don't have to have "black boxes."
But the loss of four African-American rising stars on that plane is real, regardless of the cause.

Reality is that these things happen. To place his untimely demise as well as thirty-two other on sabotage is completely insensitive and I believe contributes to the negative serntiments that exist right now in America. We have the power to destroy the enemy, however laboring over such an uneducated conclusions providing that some of the top business strategist were on that plane also.
Forthrightly so it could be considered terrorist sabotage on the hand of the Bosnian/Serbs after all wasn't it one of the Navagators that "committed Suicide" at the end.

I don't really know much about anything because I am only in the 8th grade but I think that President Clinton was looking a little bit too happy at the funeral.

I truly mourn the death of Ron Brown. Yet, I am disturbed that we are trying to pin "white America against black America." WE are all in this together. The only way to make a difference is to vote. Yes, Ron Brown's plane was probably sabotaged. Though, I don't believe it was because he was of African-American descent. Consider this, we still do not know who in the hell killed Kennedy. Man, it is not a racial issue - it's an issue of standing up for your beliefs. If you don't like what is going on in the government stop complaining and go out there and do something about it. We are all in this together, let's not minimize the importance of Ron Brown by making this an issue of race.

Why does anything have to be a controversy. I think that it might be. But who knows. I feel that there are some things that make me think that it could be a conspiracy. There are somethings that don't add-up. I feel that if it was it was because he was getting to influence not only here in America, but other counties as well.

Ron Brown may have died on the anniversary of Dr.Martin Luther King's assassination in 1968 but to those who are wondering what the significance may be, there is at least some indication that the CIA and CIA-employed asssassins favor sybolism to surround their dirty work. U.S. and Croatian authorities discolsed that the maintenance chief for the navigation's system at the airport where Brown's plane was headed committed suicide that Saturday. Sometimes suicides aren't always what they're said to be; sometimes murders are disguised as suicides. There is a group called "national Vietnam P.O.W. Strike Force that has stated that cadavers from the Ron Brown shootdown have arrived at Dover AFB in Delaware. All chemical traces of Thermite, a chemical used in bombs to blow safes and bunker doors, have been null and void. Also the stewardess who was alive on the ground, Shelly Kelly, was helped into the rescue helicopter with minor cuts and bruises. On arrival at the hospital she bled to death from a 3 inch incision over the femoral artery. Necrposy shows that the wounds are three hours apart. Clinton has ordered all cadavers cremated to cover evidence. Also, the plane was flying in dangerous combat theater and had on-board fuel for the landing at Dubrovnik and two extra approaches for safety reasons. The plane was still burning eight hours after impact. How come there was no State Department offcials on this flight? That's extremely odd if we think about it.
Here's another thing to think about. Ron Brown's law partner at Patton Boggs and Blow was murdered in South Africa WITHIN ONE HOUR OF THE PLANE CRASH. Sherman Skolnick, the Chicago-based investigator, adds that the plane was broken up over an area of some 17 square miles..which is unlikely for *crashes* of an airplane. Some of the wreckage was in the sea and some was on the mountain. Different pictures also showed a piece of the fuselage which was set up on the hill that was moved and turned around in the other direction--probably for the purposes of trying to cover up the sabotage and murder of Ron Brown.
The Controversal One has spoken. Support MAD Writer Productions 1996. Hotep!!!!

There are too many unanswered questions: Why was the plane two miles off course; Why did they change the pilot at the last minute; Why did they say there was not black box when they had a recording of the last cockpit conversations; Why did the Croatian technician commit suicide?
I don't know but it doesn't look good for the USA.

When you observe all the indicators it appears to have been sabotage. What are the indicators ? 1) The weather, contrary to US media reports was not as bad as reported ; 2) Ron Brown was on his way to meet with international bankers; 3) Bill Clinton has got some serious legal problems that Ron Brown may have been privy too; 4) the air traffic controller where Ron Brown's plan was to land allegedly committed suicide (the gunshot wound was to his chest); Ron Brown was a powerful African-American !

I think that the possibility that Ron Brown's plane was sabotaged should be investigated. I think that it is ironic that the maintenance chief committed suicide on April 6th, just two days after the plane crash. I would not be surprised if the plane was sabataged. I think that white America has a problem whenever a Black man is in a leadership position, and I'm also wondering about the guy that postponed his trip with Brown. Did someone alert him? What is interesting but not surprising is that no top officials from the Republican party has given any condolences to the Brown family. I hope that the struggles of Ron Brown will not be forsaken. It is so sad that at this late date in American history we still have to contend with such acts of sabatoge and violence, that is, if the plane was sabatoged. I'm wondering if significant information is being held back from the Black community in that white America is afraid that we Black Americans. When someone Black comments a violent act towards whites the information is not held back.

How does a plane that had the First lady on it aweek before all of a sudden lacks certain radar equip and a "black box?"

The air crash was clearly deliberate. Air Force conducted no investigation. Brown knew all the DNC dirt from getting Clinton elected the first time. The stewardess survived the crash with no serious injury only to die in route to hospital and now reports of bullet holes in Ron Brown's head not reported before and covered up until this weekend!!
