Journalist Michael Hastings Crash from Restaurant Camera

In 2013 Rolling Stone reporter Michael Hastings was killed in a mysterious single car accident in which he ran into a tree at high speed, and the car allegedly exploded, although nearby residents and witnesses said they heard what resembled a bomb. Modern vehicles do not explode upon impact. It was confirmed that he was working on a story about then CIA Director John Brennan. https://reason.com/2013/08/13/michael-hastings-was-investigating-brenn/Show more

In an unusual public comment on the case, former Bush national counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke told the Huffington Post:

"it’s relatively easy to hack your way into the control system of a car, and to do such things as cause acceleration when the driver doesn’t want acceleration, to throw on the brakes when the driver doesn’t want the brakes on…"

Clarke said:

"…in the case of Michael Hastings, what evidence is available publicly is consistent with a car cyber attack."
