Rockefeller Great-Grandson Dies After Small Plane Goes Down...

The Rockefeller family, after celebrating the 99th birthday of its billionaire patriarch David, is now planning a funeral for his doctor son after a morning plane wreck.
Richard Rockefeller died at the controls of his private Piper Meridian PA-46 when the single-engine craft crashed Friday in miserable weather conditions minutes after takeoff at Westchester County Airport.
JASON KEMPIN/WIREIMAGEDr. Richard Rockefeller, 65, was killed in the crash, authorities say.
Though several other flights were canceled due to the rain, fog and poor visibility, veteran pilot Rockefeller opted to take off at 8:08 a.m. from Runway 16 — and quickly dropped off the radar, authorities said.
Rockefeller, 65, was found dead amid wreckage of his plane, which barely missed hitting a house and building at Stratford Stables, just a half-mile from the White Plains airport.
The crash happened so quickly that Rockefeller never had time for a mayday call, officials said. A piece of the doomed plane’s wing dangled from a sheared pine tree as police in Purchase, N.Y., awaited the arrival of National Transportation Safety Board investigators.
Other large trees in the plane’s path were knocked askew, with one aircraft wheel thrown about 50 feet away from the main wreckage. No one on the ground was injured.
Rockefeller, the well-respected great-grandson of Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller Sr., was a regular flier and had decades of flight experience, according to a family spokesman.

“It’s a terrible tragedy,” said spokesman Fraser Seitel. “The family is in shock. Richard was a wonderful and cherished brother, father, husband, grandfather.”
Rockefeller, of Falmouth, Maine, was flying solo and heading home after his father’s birthday. “He was eating dinner with his father last night to celebrate his 99th birthday,” said Seitel. “It’s horribly sad.”

Richard Rockefeller was a doctor with a distinguished career that included a stint chairing the U.S. Advisory Board of Doctors Without Borders from 1989-2010. The doctor served as a trustee on the philanthropic Rockefeller Brothers Fund. He was recently working on PTSD treatment for wounded veterans, said Seitel.
Rockefeller, a Harvard graduate, practiced medicine in Portland, Maine. He sat on the board of the conservationist group Maine Coast Heritage Trust.

“His work with environmental protection throughout Maine was enormous,” said Timothy Glidden, the group’s president. “He was there to really roll up his sleeves and work.”
Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino said he contacted members of the Rockefeller family to send his condolences.
“I can imagine they’re all shaken up,” said Astorino. “Yesterday was a nice day for the family ... and today they’re dealing with an absolute tragedy.”

IF someone/group of persons intentionally targeted Richard Rockefeller, and the Rockefeller dynasty (not enough details... just speculation)... The Bush's?
ReplyDeleteZionism and geo-politics aside... The Bush's want to emerge as Americas most powerful family. They have a large portion of CIA, private intelligence, financial wealth (possibly $60 trillion combined according to some)...
just speculating.

ReplyDeleteso.... was this a message to the rest of the family to shape up cos we're coming for the rest of them or did the family just want him out of the way because he was trying to break ranks? There's always rumour's about infighting between the different factions of the cabal.
ReplyDeleteA birthday celebration and he flies home alone????? Where were the rest of his family? Wife, kids, grandkids? Were'nt they invited too? Something smells and it ain't birthday cake!
ReplyDeleteI guess he didn't go along with the NWO agenda
ReplyDeleteThe Rockerfeller's have some big investments in Canada and some enemies also. There is a good deal of information about how the Rockerfeller's w2ere part of a conspiracy to break up Canada and loot its resources.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Canadians and their secret service are behind this revenge killing.

So sorry to see these comments. I was a friend of Richard's through a medical community that we all belonged to. Richard gave much of his time to blood cancer patients and giving them hope in the fight against a rare leukemia. He worked tirelessly for Doctors Without Borders and recently was working with vets for PTSD. Richard was a great friend to all. Sending prayers and peace to his wife Nancy and family.
