Jacob Horton
Jacob "Jake" Horton (? -
April 10,
1989) was a senior
vice-president of
Southern Company's Gulf Power Unit, killed when a
corporate plane caught
fire and crashed, shortly after takeoff from
Pensacola,
Florida.
Journalist Greg Palast has alleged that Horton was murdered, by the corporation, in order to prevent him from accusing the
Board of Directors of making
illegal payments to
politicians (1 -- p. 109).
