Airplane that crashed in Lake Ontario yet to be raised

Toronto police and the aircraft's US insurance company are squabbling
over who should be responsible for raising a twin Beech that crashed
into the lake on the 7th of July. It was on a flight from Chicago to
Toronto Island airport, when it disappeared in heavy fog just short of
the airport. The pilot's body has not been recovered:

The aircraft is in water too deep for traditional scuba divers, so a
salvage company has to be hired. The insurance company that covered the
aircraft (AIG) today said that they aren't interested in recovering
either the aircraft or the pilot.

Too bad he's not a Kennedy, otherwise the taxpayers might pay for it.

Renting airplanes is like renting sex: It's difficult to arrange on short
notice on Saturday, the fun things always cost more, and someone's always
looking at their watch.

If it were Ted Kennedy, I'd pay it myself.

If it was Ted Kennedy, I'd pay to make sure it couldn't be recovered. Let the
fish have him.

So you are a "compassionate conservative"?

If it were Ted Kennedy, I'll bet the NTSB would rule that it was brake
failure......

No, that would imply "pilot error".

And alcohol had nothing to do with it.
