And then we have Aubrey McClendon, who was a pioneer in the fracking (hydraulic fracturing) process for extracting fuels from ground material. He’d been indicted on March 1st for violating antitrust laws a few years earlier. On March 2nd, “he pretty much drove straight into the wall” of the viaduct, as stated by the Oklahoma City Police. Wasn’t wearing a seat belt, so he died. It will take about a week or so for them to figure out if that was a result of a medical condition/event or if he did it deliberately, since he wasn’t heading back to court as was initially reported.

Honestly, I thought Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake, and Palmer) would need no explanation. In my world (and evidently Road_Rash’s, too), invoking his name is analogous to that of Elvis Presley or Elton John, but I see your point. Not everyone lives in my world. That’s their loss.
Hunt was convicted of murder and rape in 1984. Almost 20 years later, he was exonerated by DNA testing, and the true murderer was caught. He founded a foundation to advocate for people wrongfully convicted. He was awarded a settlement from Winston-Salem for the improper handling of the investigation and his trial, for $1.6 million.
Sylvia Anderson, creator and producer of marionette-based television shows, such as “Thunderbirds”, where she was also the voice of Lady Penelope… she was 88.
