The Mexican government is at war against the drug cartels and apparently the drug cartels had put a price on the head of Vasconcelos. The problem of figuring out the truth is exacerbated by the citizenry's distrust; the Mexican government is not exactly known for disclosure. In fact, if the facts prove this was indeed an accident, how will people ever be convinced of it? Because no sign of any explosives were found in the wreckage; and the presumed cause of the crash is that the Lear Jet was adversely affected by turbulence from a large Boeing jet in front of it.
What: Learjet 45 flown by the Mexican government
Where: Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City
When: 04 NOV 2008
Who:Passengers included:
- Mexican Secretary of the Interior Juan Camilo Mouriño, top aide to President Felipe Calderón.

- Norma Díaz, director in the communications department of the Interior Secretariat.
- Julio César Ramírez Dávalos, pilot.
