RENO, Nev. – The pilot of a small plane that nose-dived into a northern Nevada cow pasture, killing all five people aboard, was making low passes over a party shortly before the crash, a federal investigator said Sunday.
National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration investigators on Sunday combed the wreckage for clues as to whether human error, weather or a mechanical problem caused the crash a day before near Gardnerville, about 50 miles south of Reno.
McKenny said witnesses told him that the pilot, Gary Annas, 58, of Minden, was making low passes over the party shortly after taking off from the nearby Minden Tahoe Airport when his twin-engine Beechcraft BE95 made a steep turn and crashed.
Annas had earlier stopped by the party to ask if anyone wanted to accompany him on the flight that was to start and end at the airport, McKenny said.
And no for something completely different,
The oldest known human hair belonged to a 9,000-year-old mummy disinterred from an ancient Chilean cemetery.
Until now: a recent discovery pushes the record back some 200,000 years. (And the newly discovered strands received a rather less dignified burial.)
While excavating in Gladysvale Cave, near Johannesburg, South Africa, a team of researchers from the University of the Witwatersrand discovered an ancient brown-hyena latrine. Upon inspection, hyena coprolites - fossilized dung - appeared to contain uncannily hair-like structures.

Take that back, Gen.
We all know the Bible says the Earth is 4000 years old.
You must be mistaken.
Straight to hell goes you.

Wrong. The 9000 year old human hair came from the comb of Robert Byrd.Cameron wrote:We all know the Bible says the Earth is 4000 years old.

And the 200,000 year old hair came from the back of Kidd Conley's mama!
