Former White House official killed after business jet hit turbulence
Dana Hyde, who served at the State Department and as an international aid official, was remembered as a ‘brilliant and generous colleague’ and a wonderful motherA former White House and international development official died last week after the business jet she was flying in hit severe turbulence in New England, officials said Monday.
In addition to probing what it initially described as a turbulence event, the NTSB said Monday, its investigators are “now looking at a reported trim issue that occurred prior to the in-flight upset.” The agency did not describe the nature of the reported issue, but trim generally refers to a plane’s ability to maintain its altitude.
Hyde was seen as a “brilliant and generous colleague,” said Jon Purves, a spokesperson at the Aspen Institute, where she was co-chair of the Aspen Partnership for an Inclusive Economy in 2020 and 2021. “The thoughts of our entire Aspen Institute community are with Dana’s family and loved ones.”Her husband said Hyde was born in rural eastern Oregon and worked her way through college and law school, approaching a long list of federal jobs with a sense of love.
That foreign development work also serves to improve national security, Hyde said, citing insights from her work investigating 9/11.
