Yogi,

Since little John was flying at night and in hazy weather, I highly doubt
that a search could've been mounted until the next day anyway.  It would
have made no difference except maybe to recover the bodies a little more
quickly.  As it is, it took over 4 days (and nights) of searching to find
them...a few hours would not have mattered.

Having said that, I kind of agree with you and I'm sure everyone will be
searching for someone else to blame besides little John's stupidity.  After
all, the precious Kennedys can do no wrong.  And flying at night in
marginal skies with little experience while carrying two passengers could
NEVER qualify as stupid.  Besides, everyone knows that Hillary had him
bumped off because he was considering running for the NY Senate seat in
2000. ;-)
