Jacob "Jake" Horton (died April 10, 1989) was a senior vice-president of Southern Company's Gulf Power unit, killed when a corporate airplane caught fire and crashed into a Pensacola apartment complex, shortly after takeoff from Pensacola, Florida.[1][2] 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.[3]
