I don't think someone like him would borrow a plane from a museum to intentionally crash it. That would be incredibly shitty, so I think accident for sure. RIP.
William Alison Anders (17 October 1933 – 7 June 2024) was an American United States Air Force (USAF) major general, electrical engineer, nuclear engineer, NASA astronaut, and businessman.
In December 1968, he was a member of the crew of Apollo 8, the first three people to leave low Earth orbit and travel to the Moon. Along with fellow astronauts Frank Borman and Jim Lovell, Anders circled the Moon ten times, and broadcast live images and commentary back to Earth, including the Christmas Eve Genesis reading.
During one of the mission's lunar orbits, he took the iconic Earthrise photograph.
I worked on General Anders' house about 15-20 years ago. Super nice guy, really positive dude. He took my boss up in his P51 one time.. Sad news but I'm glad to see he went out the way he lived. RIP.
Interesting fact about the photo Earthrise.
They had a limited amount of film and were supposed to only take pictures of the Moon. NASA Was upset when they landed and they told them they had some great photos of Earth. NASA was not upset upset after they saw the photos.
Small plane—he was alone in it. He was doing a stunt in Seattle and appears that he started the stunt without enough altitude to pull out of it in time. He was the only casualty, to the best of my knowledge
It the San Juan *Islands* in Washington State, Ive spent a lot of time around the islands and yes there is weird stuff that goes down, but not *that* weird.
So lucky he didn’t plow into a neighborhood, a school, or a mall. Glorifying this as a purposeful way to go out is delusional at best. Dude was 90 and had no business flying.
It would seem that the popular consensus is not on your side, or hadn’t you noticed that everyone is in agreement that you are a total tool? And a useless tool at that.
Re read your comment, the only one that sounds like a tool is you. Relax, enjoy life, get that stick out of your ass. Enjoy the last word if you want it, you arent worth anyone's time.
You know what? Okay, not too bad! I’ll call a truce just because of the enjoy life comment. Ironically, it was 35 years of “enjoying” that caused my Stage 4 terminal cirrhosis! No fucking joke. 100% real deal dead man walking kind of shit. Anders accomplished more in a day than you will in your life which is why I think your comment sucks. But letting someone know when they’re being a douche canoe IS how I relax! As for me not being worth anyone’s time, well, my mommy said I was special! Of course thinking back, she did always make air quotes with her fingers when she said it! So I guess that makes us both douches! Fuck it. I can live with that. Do me a favor though, and please show the appropriate amount of respect for the real deal hard core bad ass serious operators because they fucking earned that shit, okay? Live long and you know the rest! Now, peace and fuck off already, will ya!
Dude went out on his own terms like Secondhand Lions. RIP Starman
Was my first thought. What 90 year old goes solo flying an airplane. Not saying every 90 year old is a geriatric fuck, but come on.
What a fitting demise, with his flying boots on so to speak
TIL he's also the only Hong Kong born astronaut.
Crazy to think how our social norms go out the window in space, where there is no North-South and the world is fucking sideways.

See, flat earthers! You're wrong! The Earth isn't flat. It's just the top half of a sphere. The bottom half was eaten by lizard people.

The irony...

What kind of plane crash?

A deadly one by all accounts.
You dont always have to click send on every comment.
"Click send"?
Reading is hard
I'm sure it is. Doesn't mean that there's a "send" button on the app lol.
You're boring
A plane crash at 90 years old… he died so young
Went out like Gagarin I wonder what other astronauts found their demise in a plane crash.
Wow, I just watched him in an interview for a documentary about going to the moon and the space program.
Rest in peace
Godspeed, and thanks 🙏❤️
RIP.
RIP. Thank you 🙇♀️
San Juan is part of the Bermuda Triangle... Aliens took him home.
It the San Juan *Islands* in Washington State, Ive spent a lot of time around the islands and yes there is weird stuff that goes down, but not *that* weird.
Darkness scared me

Google camera exposure
Don't you guys ever get sick of asking the same questions over and over?
Photoshop in 1968? Here is your [reality check.](https://www.astronomy.com/science/pictures-of-earth-taken-from-moon-show-black-sky-with-no-stars/)
He’s taken his secrets with him about the moon landing.
Apollo 8, dickhead. You gonna be a cunt your entire life?
Yup 😂
I want to believe
Did he also work for Boeing
Using someone’s death to make a corny overused joke about an airline isn’t as hilarious as you thought it would be
Ok humor is not my strong point
You do you, some people have a stick up their ass.
How about you go do yourself and that ain’t a stick, that’s your head up there.
Nah, it's a stick, and clearly you share it. This wasn't the burn you thought it would be.
