[The Very Strange Death of Alfred Loewenstein](https://aspectsofhistory.com/the-very-strange-death-of-alfred-loewenstein/) would've been a much better title...
One of the richest men in the world at the time, Alfred Loewenstein, must had used the bathroom and went out the door that was in the bathroom! Although it’s impossible for one man to open in mid-air. His body was found in the English Channel over two weeks later by fishermen. His skull was cracked but autopsy results said he was still alive in the water. No one was ever charged in his murder. Seems all six onboard plus the pilot were all involved. He owed lots of investors money and his wife wanted his fortune, didn’t even go to the funeral!
It was called toilet doors. Work really bad as people keep falling out of them after taking a shit. We now call it toilet seats, and it's more stratigraphic placed over the toilets.
That I didn't know about! Honestly! Having to stick your bare a** out a trap door in mid flight!
I hate to say it, I would rather shit myself, than do something like that! (have fun with this, I'm already laughing!)
As far as I know all ‘toilet doors’ are all fekking internal!? I’m not sure I can trust a toilet door ever again.
Edit: unless it’s an outside toilet but stop being pedantic.
It is a very good point. It sort of implies the toilet had 2x doors...which doesn't sound like good design. Either way it's pretty damned obvious he was murdered
On July 4, 1928, financier Alfred Lowenstein — then, the third-richest man in the world — was on a private plane, a Fokker Tri-Motor, flying from Croydon Airport to his home country Belgium.
This was a routine trip that he took with his employees regularly. On that fateful day, with 6 people on board, the skies were clear, the weather was nice, and the flight was smooth.
As the plane was flying over the English Channel, Alfred went into the tiny bathroom compartment at the back of the cabin. And vanished.

That was the was the company that manufactured the plane. Fokker was one of the airplanes built to fight in WW2. If you heard of the Bloody Red Baron, this was the fighter plane he flew.
was assassinated and thrown off the plane and the crew was in on it... Like what else can be the explanation? He stepped on some big shot's toes with his wealth and was taken out.
Could also be that the crew wasn't in on it but CIA or the investigating body just covered up the details, like they have done with those suicide cases in which the person suicided by soothing themselves 5 times to the back.
Easy. Assassin in the bathroom. Kills and chops body and disposes of it in the shitter. To cover any evidence he then kills and chops up himself and disposes in the shitter. Easy.
He was probably against the Fed and central banking like the rest of the billionaires who suspiously died around this same time period and the creation of the Federal Reserve
I never said “vanished” I said died suspiously and I was only partially serious
But im referring to the fact that 3 of the 4 richest men in the country, at that time, all opposed the federal reserve founded in 1913 - all died on the Titanic in 1912
I’ll try but it’s hard these days with the shadow bans and “fact checkers” they all might’ve been deleted already
But their names were: John Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim and George Wick
JJ Astor was against taxes because he didn’t want to pay. His grandfather was almost handed all of Oregon by the Jefferson administration to build a fur trading empire out of what is now Astoria. Guggenheim made his money the old fashioned way: Inheriting it and leveraging his inheritance to buy smelting and iron/steel companies.
I remember reading about those that died on the Titanic opposing fed reserve. Interesting to know. Fed reserve is private and not a legitimate branch of govt. Read that information a long time ago .
i saw some hour special on some channel about this a long while back.. dude got thrown out of a plane and they were acting like its some mystery for an hour.. almost as stupid as "somethings wrong with aunt irene" or whatever the fuck that show was where the lady guzzled a fifth of vodka in 5 minutes then hopped in her minivan.. they really fabricated some mystery in that one
It is one of the conspiracies around the Titanic.
That and it was actually Britannic, which had been damaged at the dock and which they sank for insurance, knowing that it would break apart eventually.
You should look into the death of Rudolf Diesel, who boarded a ferry boat in Belgium and was nowhere to be found when it arrived in England.
He was saying that his invention, the engine that bears his name, could work without a petroleum derivate but rather oil from plants as fuel. What was he thinking, right?
This is not new. For a while, people were running on recycled frying oil from McDs.
Darryl Hannah was driving an old diesel truck running on frying oil.

Not sure if she still does.
But, yeah, if you pour clean oil in the tank, it will run. Transition from regular diesel to oil will be a little rough around the edges but it will run.
I don't know much about diesels-- had a surface level conversation with a good family friend who uses an alternate fuel though in his older truck. He said something about some newer ones it not being good for...
but he uses the jet fuel that would get wasted from helo operations in his diesel. They fill up big 55 gallon drums with the small amounts we pour in a clear container to check for contaminants, then we don't put that in the tank so it accumulates.
Every so often he snags a 55 gallon drum of actual jet fuel to commute to Louisiana for his two weeks on or whatever.
He said it's actually good on his engine, real clean or something.
His body was found.
Also worth mentioning, many conspiracy theories were suggested, much like this subreddit. Investigations into his fortunes found many of his companies were leveraged and it was plausible his “empire” was on the verge of collapse, so forcing himself out of the rear door and committing suicide is most likely the case (even though an interesting and probably comical testing of this hypothesis, soon after, was deemed impossible, due to cabin pressure/slip-stream push-back on the door/yadda-yadda).
This entire “went into the bathroom and didn’t come out” is really misleading. The aircraft was a Fokker Tri-Motor the ”bathroom door” was the door passengers used to get in and out of the aircraft. When his valet went to check on Alfred the exterior door was open. It was probably suicide, he didn’t have friends and his wife hated him.
And? OP you don’t want to say who it was ?
Here’s what I could find…
[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Loewenstein](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Loewenstein)
His 23 year old wife wanted a divorce, so he parachuted out with most of his money and left her with the house. At least, judging by the look on face, I'm guessing that is what happened.
[Not everyone is so lucky: Andrew McAuley Disappears In Middle of Ocean, Leaving Behind Terrifying Video. This is his Final self photo of kayaker Andrew McCauley](https://www.howandwhys.com/andrew-mcauley-disappears/)
And ironically, in the Reddit post about him, no name or link was given, leaving his identity a mystery
That “Bizarre” tag doing a lot of heavy lifting.
[The Very Strange Death of Alfred Loewenstein](https://aspectsofhistory.com/the-very-strange-death-of-alfred-loewenstein/) would've been a much better title...
Whenever the wind whistles through the leaves, I'll think, “Lowenstein... Lowenstein."
My name is Zweig....
Now, about your husband....
Agree, and interesting article
The real takeaway is “Don’t flush the airplane toilet before standing up”.

Yeah this one is kind of a no brainer
His skull was cracked, not split wide open!
You detective you
Yeeeaaaaaaahh
Was he raped
He was... in the head
What a head fuck.
Why the hell is there a door in the toilet?
It was called toilet doors. Work really bad as people keep falling out of them after taking a shit. We now call it toilet seats, and it's more stratigraphic placed over the toilets.
That I didn't know about! Honestly! Having to stick your bare a** out a trap door in mid flight! I hate to say it, I would rather shit myself, than do something like that! (have fun with this, I'm already laughing!)
I feel like the breeze would be quite nice, tbh.
In a pressurized cabin, it would be more like a 50,000W vacuum cleaner. Hey, but suction is good too?
So people shit out a hole inthe plane?
Most people shit out of a hole all the time. Plane, boat, home, doesn't matter where But yea
Shidded without hole, don’t recommend.
Really? I find it quite liberating.
Happy cake day 🥳🥳🥳
Why would the Exit Door Company even print their name in bold red letters on the door in the first place?!?
As far as I know all ‘toilet doors’ are all fekking internal!? I’m not sure I can trust a toilet door ever again. Edit: unless it’s an outside toilet but stop being pedantic.
We are talking about an airplane in 1928, hardly a Leer Jet.
Like a G6?
Yeah, jokes on those guys. They used to have outhouses back then.
Was there a white onion dispenser in the room as well....
I think so. They found one in the canal a week or 2 later
He made his fortune dispensing onions?
Abra cadraba
It is a very good point. It sort of implies the toilet had 2x doors...which doesn't sound like good design. Either way it's pretty damned obvious he was murdered
You needed to go out that door to the outhouse! Whaddya think, they'd have an outhouse inside?
I mean, the smell
Wait he survived falling out of a plane hitting water?
Would assume most do for a few seconds at least
I hear he was buried on the family golf course.
Interesting
Sounds like he was killed, and the people on the plane were in on it. "He just vanished, I have no idea". Yeah right.....
We have no idea where the hen went, cried the group of foxes.
If I was the police investigator I would have charged all in the flight. Someone would have cracked
The Orient Express conundrum.
Get poirot on it
Holy sh*t you cracked the case!
Holy *shit* they did
He was "suicided" by his employees. Remember kids... don't be a cunt.
Lmfao

Fokker? I hardly know her!
Fokker you talkin' about?!
Fokker around and find out
I have nipples Fokker. Can you milk me?
That was the was the company that manufactured the plane. Fokker was one of the airplanes built to fight in WW2. If you heard of the Bloody Red Baron, this was the fighter plane he flew.
And them Fokkers were Messerschmidts!
Thanks!
He was royally Fokked.
This is proof that if everyone keeps their story straight u can easily get away with murder.
Actually just 1 of every 5 murder cases solved in world wide
I mean that includes places that are corrupt or have limited officers so for world wide thats pretty good tbh
This seems low only in the first instance that you haven't yet realized the state of many countries out there.
was assassinated and thrown off the plane and the crew was in on it... Like what else can be the explanation? He stepped on some big shot's toes with his wealth and was taken out. Could also be that the crew wasn't in on it but CIA or the investigating body just covered up the details, like they have done with those suicide cases in which the person suicided by soothing themselves 5 times to the back.
1,2 and 4th richest men are the are still the prime suspects.
Especially the fourth guy, he moved up a spot.
I know right?
His son, however, was dead broke. He didn't want to be known as Dead Broke Cooper so he just went by, D.B.
Easy. Assassin in the bathroom. Kills and chops body and disposes of it in the shitter. To cover any evidence he then kills and chops up himself and disposes in the shitter. Easy.
Lmao
He didn’t vanish. There was a door to exit the plane on the right, and left was the bathroom. Dude went out the right over open water.
Imagine how hard it is to open a door in a plane against the wind? He 100% didn't open that door, which has a window to see outside, by mistake
Alfred Loewenstein
never heard of him
He was probably against the Fed and central banking like the rest of the billionaires who suspiously died around this same time period and the creation of the Federal Reserve
Wait other also “vanished”. Please do tell or provide a link?
I never said “vanished” I said died suspiously and I was only partially serious But im referring to the fact that 3 of the 4 richest men in the country, at that time, all opposed the federal reserve founded in 1913 - all died on the Titanic in 1912
Wow! I've of coarse know about the Titanic. But this little fact hasn't been mentioned anywhere. Thanks for the update.
Link?

I think that’s just coincidence. Of course the richest people would be on the titanic, they’re the only people that could afford such a thing?
I remember reading about those that died on the Titanic opposing fed reserve. Interesting to know. Fed reserve is private and not a legitimate branch of govt. Read that information a long time ago .
That seems a bit extreme
i saw some hour special on some channel about this a long while back.. dude got thrown out of a plane and they were acting like its some mystery for an hour.. almost as stupid as "somethings wrong with aunt irene" or whatever the fuck that show was where the lady guzzled a fifth of vodka in 5 minutes then hopped in her minivan.. they really fabricated some mystery in that one
Maybe he was a shit person
Let me guess: he opposed the creation of the Fed?
I read a story once about how all the main people against the federal reserve were on the titanic. Idk if it was true or not tho.
It is one of the conspiracies around the Titanic. That and it was actually Britannic, which had been damaged at the dock and which they sank for insurance, knowing that it would break apart eventually. You should look into the death of Rudolf Diesel, who boarded a ferry boat in Belgium and was nowhere to be found when it arrived in England.

Diesel is great for that. It can run on pretty much anything.
Olympic, not Britannic. Olympic collided with a battering ram in Southampton. Britannic didn’t launch until 1914.
Not all but if memory serves like, the top 5 guys leading that forefront were
Ejecto seato
Toilets flushed different back then.
He flushed while still sitting on the toilet and got sucked out. Pretty standard stuff.
He found a door to Narnia.
Money can not buy happiness … But it can buy ice cream — which is pretty much the same thing …
*cries in lactose intollerant*
Op why don’t you include his name or like , any relevant info?
Whoever inherited all his money can answer that question lol
That wasn’t the bathroom
Ngl. I didn't know hey had passenger planes back then.
His body was found. Also worth mentioning, many conspiracy theories were suggested, much like this subreddit. Investigations into his fortunes found many of his companies were leveraged and it was plausible his “empire” was on the verge of collapse, so forcing himself out of the rear door and committing suicide is most likely the case (even though an interesting and probably comical testing of this hypothesis, soon after, was deemed impossible, due to cabin pressure/slip-stream push-back on the door/yadda-yadda).
We'll obviously he flushed himself down the toilet possibly got his tie caught in there.
They also could have just shot him on the runway and took off without him and made up a lame story
Did they check under his seat?
This entire “went into the bathroom and didn’t come out” is really misleading. The aircraft was a Fokker Tri-Motor the ”bathroom door” was the door passengers used to get in and out of the aircraft. When his valet went to check on Alfred the exterior door was open. It was probably suicide, he didn’t have friends and his wife hated him.
Are you sure the valet wasn't having an affair with the wife?
Hard to become one of the richest men in the world without making a few enemies along the way.
Was He given a trillion dollar bill to take to France ? 
Rich people are funny that way, especially when the shits about it the fan they just disappeared.
This is just what you where told 😂
Got caught shorting market into oblivion so that was the way to get out of it. Fake your death. Today’s version is the same just with a submarine.
He was obviously violently sucked through the toilet at speed.
Op isnfull of shit, every post he makes is from a very dubius source. And ofc no details nor names ate given. Source: i imagine things
And? OP you don’t want to say who it was ? Here’s what I could find… [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Loewenstein](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Loewenstein)
Obviously he was eaten by his hat
Was it a Boeing jet?
He got himself flushed out.
I think I can put it together. Lol
Did he work with the Clintons?
[удалено]
Man It was so easy to epstein/dissappear someone back then
‘Murder on the Orient Express’…. In the air, you say?
Was the plane called Orient Express?
Jus tell em we dunno
He thought the Spanish flu was fake news, and demanded Return to Office protocols.
Gotta keep the flow of bullshit constant and consistent around here don't we.
Whoever got his money will have known
Bro flushed himself ...?
He was most likely pulled by gravity
He obviously fell in
I read a book about this, if I recall correctly it's called "Alfred Lowenstein the man who fell from the sky"
That suction musta been strroooonnng. Rich poops are solid.
Everyone in that plane was definitely guilty. They spun the story so that he just "vanished".
In 1928 the toilet was a gravity tube to the outside of the aircraft, not sure how wide it was. So low pressure may have given a mega flush.
Wish that would happen today.
A masked man was on that plane
Man was Isekai’d but thrown back when he failed.
[удалено]
Definitely the guy in the back was one of the six.
Maybe…he got flushed.
Looks like shemp from the 3 stooges!
Ghoulies ate him
Rockefeller had him thrown out of the plane.
His 23 year old wife wanted a divorce, so he parachuted out with most of his money and left her with the house. At least, judging by the look on face, I'm guessing that is what happened.
The "third richest man" is what happened.
Easy. Just watch the Netflix show Manifest to see what may have happened really.
[Dropped like a rock!](https://i.ibb.co/Jn2FM3Y/Screenshot-20240301-165208-Brave.jpg)
1928? Not exactly a Gulfstream 5.
Trap door
My guess is he got sucked down ths toilet.
khashoogi happened.
Those old plane toilets used to flush HARD
Simple. Swirly.
Sent back to his time?
Alfred Loewenstein
It was the fourth richest man, and he was tired of the being left out
Maybe it was a Russian plane and he tripped over the seatbelt
Poor man
Let this be a warning…
He went to hang out with Don Lewis
This is why I NEVER flush when I use the bathroom mid flight.
[удалено]
Get Jonathan Creek on it.
