Tracy,
We're dealing with semantics here. No one accused Bill Clinton of causing Hale Boggs' plane to vanish. The important and interesting point here is that Clinton was a young, seemingly unconnected guy at that point in his life. How did he get in a position to drive such a powerful person to the airport? And while that flight wasn't into oblivion, it did represent Boggs' exit from the political world.
