Mass Murder or Utter Stupidity / Chap. 6 p. 51<br />
that death had come from noxious fumes before the flames reached them." 29<br />
Borman's acumen might be judged by the fact that Eastern Airlines turned into a sinking<br />
submarine when he was at the helm as CEO. Nobody dies in 14 seconds from noxious<br />
fumes. Ed White died inhaling super heated oxygen which set fire to his lungs, throat and<br />
skin the same way that technician's hand burned in the test years before. The chances are<br />
they survived for minutes and were conscious for a good part of that time. However, death<br />
was definite after the first breath.<br />
Borman then writes about "nuts" and disgruntled employees who tried to give his committee<br />
information. "As the investigation progressed, all sorts of nuts came out of the<br />
woodwork with their own theories. There also were some serious allegations directed against<br />
North <strong>America</strong>n Aviation, most of them coming from former employees with large axes to<br />
grind. They charged the company with criminal neglect and mismanagement, and we<br />
investigated each accusation thoroughly. We found that in every case we were getting input<br />
from people who simply had personal grievances against the company, with no evidence to<br />
back them up." 30<br />
That's odd! One of Borman's superiors, General Sam Phillips, also made a report in<br />
November 1966 that shredded North <strong>America</strong>n Aviation. He could hardly be classified as a<br />
disgruntled employee. Speaking of classified information, Michael Gray in his book disclosed<br />
the fact that Phillip's report was classified. 31 Borman apparently ignored that report.<br />
Time and time again, <strong>NASA</strong> has bragged about how open <strong>NASA</strong> was. One wonders,<br />
then, who classified this report What could it possibly have had to do with national security<br />
No wonder that Bill Kaysing was never able to obtain a copy. To paraphrase an old<br />
saying, the "TOP SECRET" stamp, because it reflects patriotism, has always been the last<br />
refuge of scoundrels.<br />
On April 27, 1967 the 204 Board was still in the process of (almost) learning new<br />
things. A low-level employee named Thomas Baron had already testified in Washington and<br />
now was a target for <strong>NASA</strong>'s ire. His voluminous reports were day by day accounts of North<br />
<strong>America</strong>n's screw-ups and were written years earlier. It seems very strange that both Baron's<br />
and Phillips' reports disappeared. After accepting his reports, the 204 Board wrote off his<br />
testimony. By the very next evening Baron, his wife, and his stepdaughter would be dead!<br />
The two women were totally innocent, but apparently that's what they get for associating<br />
with a <strong>NASA</strong> whistle-blower.<br />
One of the common "accidents" to governmentally-sensitive folks in Florida is the old<br />
railroad crossing gambit. There are lots of semi-deserted country roads and active railroad<br />
tracks in Florida. Usually after the grisly event, the bodies are found by someone so powerful<br />
that he can have them immediately cremated, frequently before an autopsy can be<br />
performed — which is contrary to Florida state law. And they used to tell us horror stories<br />
about the KGB! I no longer live in Florida, so if they come after me for writing these words,<br />
they will have to think up a new method.<br />
And please note: I am not suicidal. I say that because suicide is a common cause of death<br />
in this context. For instance, there is a suspicion that another casualty of <strong>NASA</strong> is<br />
