Friday January 12th 2015, renowned scientist Alberto Behar crashed his small plane in the streets of L.A. shortly after he had taken off. Alberto worked at NASA’s ‘Jet Propulsion Laboratory’ and Arizona State University; he was one of the leading scientists responsible for discovering that there was once water on Planet Mars. Behar was an expert pilot; he was a flight instructor for both planes and helicopters – the weather conditions were very clear and for some unknown reason his plane just started to lose altitude. The Van Nuys Airport pilot Kashif Khursheed stated “I can’t see what would be the cause of something like this. He was very knowledgeable, competent and thorough.”
