For the 22nd Time

I wonder if I should go update my numbers at the relevant blog post.  Senators +1, and a near miss for the NASA employees portion of the list. NASA still hedges out congress, but just by 2 now.

Former US Senator Killed in Alaska Plane Crash

Former U.S. Senator Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Republican to hold that office, has died in a plane crash in his home state of Alaska.

...
The plane also was carrying Sean O'Keefe, a former administrator of the U.S. space agency, NASA.  Sources briefed about the crash say O'Keefe and his son both survived, but sustained numerous injuries.  O'Keefe, now the North American chief of European aerospace giant and Airbus maker EADS, was on a fishing trip with Stevens, his longtime friend.
