I have chosen to publish a message from a reader(anonymously) of my Internet site as well as my response because this provides me with the opportunity to clarify some of my life-positions not social positions which I have come to support relative to the “real identity” of Modern Man evolving through 7,000 years of human civilization. A human civilization which begins with the establishment of the first well organized human communities( permanent building settlements, a surplus of basic food commodities through a well coordinated agriculture and husbandry, work specialization and a certain socio-political hierarchy) until the present time. Within this time-passage of “civil human existence” and evolution, Modern Man has proven that he commands those biological abilities and capacities to “achieve great things” in the “real sense” of these few words. This “real sense” of human achievement has nothing to do with exercising power over other human beings and over nature, with a human technology which destroys all types of life, with human undertakings glorifying the Human Specie as the “epicenter” of earthly existence but also of the Universe, or finally, it has nothing to do with the accumulation of material wealth at the expense of the quality of life of all, of human beings as well as of all living creatures which exist on this “beleaguered planet” which we Humans call Earth!!!

(I dedicate this part of my article which talks about the final days of young Alexander Onassis to all my former Greek students, male and female, who today are playing the fools in their everyday lives, pretending not to understand what is happening around them. Too bad for them!!!)

Starting this part of our article on Aristotle Onassis, which provides more details concerning the “real circumstances” and the “real data” in relation to the airplane “accident” which cost the life of Alexander Onassis, we want to once again present the “official memorandum” of the expert technical findings which was introduced by the High Magistrate of Athens, Mr. Stephanos Matthias, who later on became President of the Supreme Court of Greece. It is a brief technical assessment produced through “consensus” by the three “legal” and “official” parties involved in the aeronautics technical investigation of the airplane “accident” which killed Alexander Onassis. These three “legal” and “official” parties were the Committee for Accident Investigation of Greece’s Civil Aviation, the Committee for Flight Security of Greece’s Military Aviation and British aeronautics technical expert, Mr. Adam Hunter, who represented legally the interests of Aristotle Onassis in the Greek courts. This “court document” which was made officially public in   July of 1973, formulated the following evaluations concerning the “real causes” for the specific airplane “accident”. It specifies that,”…there was an abnormality to the normal functions of the airplane’s steering gears which was caused by reversing the connecting wires to these steering gears(external wires because of the old construction of this particular amphibian aircraft). Other direct causes which contributed to the accident were the improper upkeep and inspection carried out by those responsible for maintenance services, as well as through negligence by the pilot(meaning Alexander Onassis) to detect the reverse placing of the connecting wires to the steering gears before flight inspection…”(trans. from greek) (p.3.http://www.tovima.gr/default.asp?pid).

As we have mentioned already in the previous part of our article on Aristotle Onassis, his only son, Alexander Onassis, a few months before his death due to an airplane “accident” which occurred at the international airport of Athens, had announced “officially” to his father that he would soon be leaving Olympic Airlines and that he would be marrying Fiona Thyssen, “shacking” up together in the new house they had bought in Western Europe. Alexander Onassis wanted desperately to rid himself of his father’s “unbearable” psychological pressures and manipulations, discovering an “antidote” in the real love relationship he had created with the rich, dynamic and liberated Fiona Thyssen, who was 16 years olde r(p.1.http://www.men.gr/58/onasis/index8.htm).

Alexander Onassis, the only son of Aristotle Onassis and Athina(Tina) Livanos, was born in New York on the 20th of April 1948 and died on the 23rd of January 1973 in Athens, at the age of 24, after an airplane “accident”; most probably as a result of an organized attempt against his life and as a consequence of his father’s unlimited ambitions to reign supreme in the international business world as well as within his own family. Later on, we shall attempt as much as can be possible, to determine what exactly happened during this tragic day at the Athens’s airport and what may have been the possible causes for Alexander’s early death.
