On Friday the 13th of June Richard Rockefeller son of David Rockefeller dies in a small plane crash in Purchase, NY.
PURCHASE, N.Y. -- A small plane crashed outside New York City on Friday, killing a great grandson of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller, a family spokesman said.
The single-engine plane took off just after 8 a.m. Friday and went down after hitting some trees west of the airfield, Westchester County Airport operations manager John Starace said.
"It looks like the plane came over the house, hit a couple of trees very close to the house," the official said. "There is some debris in the trees."

Richard Rockefeller, of Falmouth, Maine, was the only person on board the Portland, Maine-registered aircraft.
The 64-year-old was a doctor and father of two, family spokesman Fraser Seitel said. He had recently been working on a way to treat post-traumatic stress disorder in wounded war veterans, Seitel said.
"It's a terrible tragedy," Seitel said. "Richard was a wonderful cherished son, brother, father and grandfather."
Rockefeller was a nephew of Nelson A. Rockefeller, the 41st vice president of the United States and governor of New York from 1959 to 1973. On Thursday, he ate dinner with his father, David Rockefeller, in Westchester to celebrate the family patriarch's 99th birthday, Seitel said.
Seitel described him as an experienced pilot whose death left the family in shock.
Starace said the plane, a Piper Meridian, crashed on a road in the hamlet of Purchase, a New York City bedroom community of about 10,000 residents that houses a State University of New York campus.
Rockefeller is survived by his wife Nancy and their children.
John B. Wells is the host of the radio show, Caravan to Midnight. He is an actor, musician, writer, investigative journalist, composer, martial artist, aviator and broadcaster. John also performed weekend duties as the host of the nationally syndicated overnight radio show Coast to Coast AM. We’ll begin the hour with John discussing his recent exit from Coast to Coast AM and monster corporate media outlets such as Clear Channel. For some radio programs, the only thing safe to talk about is that which can’t be proven. John talks about how information is being used as a weapon. Then, we’ll talk about how patriotic, pro-US Constitution Americans are being marked as a threat while the nation tumbles into the ultimate sacrifice for the “common good.” John explains how globalists are making the world into one giant country for nefarious reasons. Later, we discuss how mainstream media, although tanking in numbers and credibility with the public, is still able to stay on. In the second hour, John shares his views on Russia and Putin. Is Putin possibly seeking revenge for Wall Street bankers who funded the Bolshevik Revolution that killed millions of Russians? We’ll also talk about the mysterious Obama who has many names. Is his father the communist activist Frank Marshall Davis? Later, we discuss how the powers that be need division between the races and continue to use slavery as a weapon.
