At the bottom of the Houston Chronicle article, a reader complains that there were actually a total of seven Texas congressmen aboard, including Rep. Ron Paul. The Chronicle story only listed three. Some have noted that the story seems to be downplayed. This AP article link lists the names of all seven congressmen who almost got wiped out today.

Among the 118 passengers on board were Rep. Ted Poe, R-Humble; Rep. Nick Lampson, D-Stafford, and Rep. Ron Paul, R-Lake Jackson, said DeeAnn Thigpen, Poe's spokeswoman.
