Just check his driving history( speeding tickets, violations) and question his friends and family on his driving habits and if he drank( if alcohol was involved). If not, then you can label it as very suspicious instead of merely suspicious but possibly a tragic coincidence.
At least he didn't fall out of a helicopter or die in a plane crash or shoot himself and then move his body or die of a heart attack after bumping into somebody.
Award winning writer Michael Hastings dies in car crash
Earlier this week I was watching the morning news and they reported on a tragic car accident on Highland Avenue here in Los Angeles.
The street is actually one way on each side with a median strip of grass & trees in the center.
The accident caused a huge fire and the auto was burned beyond recognition.
I find out today that the guy who died in the crash was Michael Hastings, a writer for Rolling Stone, and a blog or two. The guy credited with ending General Stanley McChrystal's career.
This thing smells fishy to me.
Anybody else?
They're currently investigating the cause of the crash.
The link on this article has images of the crash and video of the inferno.
His June 2010 story on Gen. McChrystal’s ridiculing of Mr. Obama’s military leadership and of other administration officials, was called “The Runaway General” and angered many. Some saw the general as out-of-line with military rules that prohibit open denouncement of superior officers. Others rallied around the general, who said he thought his comments were off-the-record, off-the-cuff remarks.
I don't find it particularly fishy. He was tooling around in a new Mercedes at 4:00 in the morning. Probably not familiar with the car, probably tired or worse, probably speeding.
I still think there's something unknown to this story.
Does not make sense to me that a guy with everything going for himself would die in a fiery car crash on a street that's not known for drag racing during the wee hours of the morning.
Witnesses to the crash said it sounded like a bomb exploded.
That's what a speeding car sounds like when it hits a tree. I saw four teens in Park Slope driving their parent's Caddy hit a big sycamore, the explosion set two other cars on fire. It was ugly.
Michael Hastings' untimely death has sent shockwaves throughout the journalistic community.
