Michael Hastings sent out panicked email prior to crash saying "I'm onto a big story and need to get off the radar"
Anonymous Coward User ID: 42127040 United Kingdom 06/22/2013 07:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Michael Hastings sent out panicked email prior to crash saying "I'm onto a big story and need to get off the radar" [link to ktla.com] Staff Sgt. Joseph Biggs told KTLA that he received an email from Hastings on Monday. Biggs had known Hastings since 2008, when the journalist was embedded in his unit in Afghanistan. “On Monday morning, I woke up and I got an email, and it’s very panicked,” Biggs said. He was blind-copied on the email, which was sent to Hastings’ colleagues. In part, it said that the feds were interviewing his close friends and associates, and that he was onto a big story and needed to get off the radar. The FBI has denied that Hastings was ever under investigation. “It alarmed me very much,” Biggs said. “I just said it doesn’t seem like him. I don’t know, I just had this gut feeling and it just really bothered me,” he said. The email was sent just before 1 p.m. on Monday, 15 hours before the deadly crash.

Instead, what happened is what always seems to happen -- they are onto a big story, or researching a particular area, and then they get whacked, and we never find out what it was they were after that got them killed.
