My family recently finished watching the multi-season TV series Numbers ("NUMB3RS") which was about an FBI agent with the last name Eppes and his brother, who take on and arrest all kinds of criminals.
I was surprised to see that a recent small plane crash in the East--https://troopers.ny.gov/news/nysp-investigating-plane-crash-delaware-county--took the lives of five people, including four people from a family with the last name of "VanEpps." They had taken off from an airport named after a man with the surname Nader. I don't know about you, but "Nader" to me immediately brings to mind Ralph Nader, a politician known for looking out for the "little guy" and fighting corruption. Moreover, VanEpps makes me think of FBI agents named Eppes working in stakeout vans.
Ever since I learned about the threats/warnings that did or did not get delivered clearly to the USA and then to Japan at the start and end of World War II in the Pacific, I've been noticing that there seem to be a lot of "muttered threats" being made out there using people's surnames in headline-making events, court cases, etc.
I think this plane crash should be investigated more carefully than usual due to the way the names involved invoke images of FBI family members and fighting corruption in the government. Ever since Paul Wellstone's plane crash 22 years ago and the suspicions it raised, I've been more open to the idea that accidents aren't always as accidental as we hope or believe them to be.
If this plane crash turns out to be at all suspicious, it could have been meant as a threat to the families of FBI agents who stand up to corrupt people in the government....which threat-making has got to be a serious federal crime in and of itself.
