Ashley and Gabrielle have a common thing - the «green» energy issue for the military bases in USA and out side of USA (Middle East ).

Ashley is linked with the merge of Progress Energy (that merge monday) with
North Carolina-based Duke Energy. The merger was only supposed to happen at the end of 2011.

Southern Energy is also a North Carolina energy company (but »green) and they are expanding...so, draw your conclusions.

Something similar happened in 1994 when senior police officers, army and military intelligence officers participating in the Northern Ireland peace process were killed in a helicopter crash. The official verdict was "pilot error", however, the families of the aircrew have fought to have their loved ones exonerated, maintaining that they had exemplary flying careers. Consider also that it is very unusual to have senior personnel sharing a flight in this way, precisely to avoid this kind of catastrophic loss.
