Five people were killed in the crash, but other identities were not known, nor are the conditions of the survivors.

He'll probably be best known for his bridge to nowhere... what a legacy.
Nobody will remember or care about the bridge to nowhere when we're still calling the internet "the tubes". That will without a doubt be his greatest legacy.
I totally agree. I think Sen. Probably did much for his state of Alaska. RIP Senator Stevens.Stevens was a posterboy for the ideological war between the right and left in America. However, whether you supported him or not, nobody deserves to die like this.
Senator Stevens - When I finally get to heaven, I hope to see you and Paul Wellstone both there, shaking hands, and maybe having a beer together. God bless.
Article is here.
He's part of the same bureaucratically corrupt Washington establishment that Kennedy, Bird and Thurmond were from. Good riddance.
I had to look that up actually - I wasn't aware of Steven's calling the internet a "series of tubes"...
