Flying can be an exhilarating experience, but occasionally the plane may run into turbulence, which is a pocket of uncertain air. While most aircraft can endure this turbulence as they fly through the skies, a White House staffer tragically perished after experiencing unusually violent jolts in midair.

On Friday, Dana Hyde, a well-known DC lawyer and single mother, was flying in their private plane with her husband Jonathan Chambers and son when they experienced severe turbulence over New England. Afterwards, “the jet immediately convulsed,” according to Mr. Chambers’ account to The Washington Post, causing Ms. Hyde to be flung around inside the cabin and sustain significant injuries.
An ambulance was standing by on the tarmac at Bradley International Airport as the plane landed in preparation of the incident. Tragically, Hyde’s injuries were irreparable, and the following evening, in Saint Francis Medical Center in Hartford, she passed away.
With his experience working for two Presidents and holding numerous high-ranking posts, Hyde was a political force to be reckoned with. She accomplished the remarkable achievement of holding the position of CEO at the Millennium Challenge Corporation, a nonprofit organization that works diligently to alleviate poverty in the world. On the news of her passing, MCC released a statement expressing its profound sorrow. This confirmed how much she will be missed, not only by those who knew her personally but also on our group’s path to bring about long-lasting change in the world.
Hyde stepped up and assumed one of her most significant roles after the horrifying September 11th terrorist attacks, which claimed 2,977 innocent lives in America alone. Hyde was appointed counsel for the commission tasked with determining why our government had not been better prepared to stop such an atrocity.
Ted Chambers remembers his late wife Hyde with affection as an extraordinary person; a mother who devoted her every endeavor to selflessly serving others in the most loving ways. Her memorial service will be place in Israel, where she herself spent one great year of college, as a tribute to her life and accomplishments.
