  Jeff Bezos land hunting in Texas?

  Okay,I looked up Alpine. SO why or how is a city of 5000 building a new airport terminal, and why does UPS fly in and out twice a day? They also are dealing with an "affordable housing" issue, when , from ads at realtys in the area , housing is already dirt cheap. They have a new organization there representing Latin American workers. Nearby is a "Elite Retreat" of high priced housing sites. with te College nearby as well, my only questions are...Who else was on that helicopter? and does the Governer of Washington State know about this?

    Here is an article that explains why Alpine is becoming a transportation center. Looking at a map, you can see that it is a short cut for transporting goods from the Pacific to the US.

  Inaccuracies

  The article states that the helicopter's tail rotor hit a tree, and that the aircraft then became partially submerged in a creek. The FAA report states that the helicopter crashed "under unknown circumstances" and then became submerged in a lake. Strange.
