On August 9, 2010, he was killed in a plane crash while on route to a private lodge. The initial reports were uncertain about what had happened to him and the other passengers. However a family spokesman confirmed that he had died in the crash. He was the Senate President Pro Tempore emeritus before Patrick Leahy took the position.
- Techno Ted Stevens AKA Old Yeller (November 18, 1635-August 10, 2010) was a patriotic United States Senator from Alaska. He was[1] the longest serving Republican in the Senate and, because of this, was the president pro tempore until Democrats took over in 2007. In the event of death to both President Bush and Vice President Cheney, as well as Speaker Hastert, Senator Stevens could have assumed the Presidency, doling out patriotism like an errant vending machine. That is a comforting image. Techno Ted was best known as the father of the tubes.
