Senator John Tower Dies In Plane Crash

Iran-Contra Investigaor

John Tower was writing a book about the Iran-Contra affair when he was killed in a plane crash in 1991. Tower had reportedly been extremely unhappy when he had been denied an appointment as secretary of defense by President George Herbert Walker Bush (the first rejection of a cabinet nominee in more than 30 years).

Tower had also been the chairman of a Reagan-appointed independent commission investigating Iran-Contra.
