Sean O'Keefe Returns to Work; Dateline NBC to Broadcast Segment on Plane Crash Friday
Former NASA Administrator Sean O’Keefe returned to work at EADS for the first time yesterday after being in an airplane crash in Alaska that took the lives of Senator Ted Stevens and four others. NASAWatch and Reuters both report the story.
Keith Cowing at NASAWatch adds a note from O’Keefe friend and former NASA General Counsel Paul Pastorek that Dateline NBC will have a one-hour segment devoted to the crash on Friday night at 9:00 pm, and O’Keefe will make appearances on NBC’s Today show and CNBC that morning. O’Keefe’s 19-year-old son, Kevin, also survived the crash and was interviewed for Dateline NBC along with his parents.
Reuters quotes O’Keefe as saying he is at 75% strength and still has “several hurdles to overcome,” but “getting back to work will surely help speed that process along.”
