Same as when it's making a lot of noise but less visible.

It sounds like the plot of the next Oliver Stone film.
A Republican IT consultant is killed in a mysterious plane crash, just days before he is scheduled to testify about conservative political operatives hacking the 2004 presidential election.
And yet the story is real, or at least parts of it are.
Technology consultant Mike Connell, whose GovTech Solutions firm created Web sites for George W. Bush and John McCain among other leading Republicans, died on December 19 when a Piper Supercub he was flying crashed three miles short of the runway at Ohio's Akron-Canton Airport.
GovTech is one of three firms involved in "mirroring" votes for the 2004 presidential election in Ohio. Connell was set to testify in a lawsuit alleging computer fraud bought against Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell by voters' rights groups.
The man who will now forever be known as "Karl Rove's IT guru" was an experienced pilot who allegedly had been warned not to fly the plane because it might be sabotaged.

Shit. Here I am working on old conspiracies when there's another one happening right around us now.
