Steve Appleton, CEO of Micron Technology, died in a crash of his experimental Lancair aircraft in Boise.

A fatal crash at the Reno Air Races involving a 74-year-old pilot resulted in nine deaths and over 50 injuries. Major news networks were criticized for over-covering the event with "gore" and body-part descriptions to fill the weekend news cycle.
