It was confirmed that Elon Musk was not on board.

My first thought was about Elon. Anyone passing away is tremendously sad. But in that sadness, I think it is good to acknowledge we didn't lose a great visionary today. We need them.

Speaking of lost visionaries, check out Daniel Lewin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_M._Lewin).

He co-founded Akamai and was killed on American Airlines Flight 11, possibly while trying to stop a hijacker. A very smart and influential guy who died tragically.

Wow. Didn't know that one. I guess you never know who you might be sitting with on a flight these days. I would not have guessed Daniel in a million years as formerly working for IDF.
