60 Minutes: Blackwater Aviation Crash in Afghanistan

60 Minutes did a piece on a 2004 plane crash in Afghanistan that killed all 6 on board, 3 contractors and 3 US soldiers. The plane was operated by Presidential Airways (Blackwater Aviation).

The president of Presidential Airways insinuates a passenger, LTC McMahon is responsible for the crash that killed all on board (13:10). LTC McMahon's widow filed a lawsuit against Blackwater/Presidential Airways; Blackwater attempted to have the case tried under Islamic law, in Afghanistan (12:43).
