This was checked out for accuracy, etc on www.snopes.com (I never realized that she had a pilots license!)
The Assicoated Press reports that New York junior Senator Hillary Clinton, narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting when she was forced to make an emergency landing in Southern New Jersey because of bad weather. National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a preliminary determination pilot error contributed to the accident, and the senator was flying a single engine aircraft in IFR (instrument flight rules) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rules) rating.
The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured. The photograph above was taken at the scene show the extent of damage to Senator Clinton's aircraft.
I say she was very lucky. {Subby}
