Boeing continues tests on Flight 800 crash
SEATTLE—Two years after the FBI and federal aviation inspectors ruled out sabotage in the crash of TWA Flight 800, Boeing Co. continues to pursue theories that a missile or a bomb downed the jet.
The Seattle Times reported Sunday that chemical and metallurgical tests were performed on the wreckage of the 747 for nearly 12 hours on Thursday by scientists hired by Boeing. The search was aimed at finding microscopic remnants of a bomb, a missile or shrapnel. The Times said, citing people familiar with the tests.
"Boeing has not ruled out any possibilities," spokeswoman Susan Davis told The Associated Press on Sunday. "Until a cause has been identified, we'll look at all the possibilities."
The FBI stepped out of the TWA Flight 800 investigation in 1997 after finding no evidence to support a bomb or missile theory. The National Transportation Safety Board has concluded that the Boeing 747 crashed when the jet's center fuel tank exploded.
Sen. Charles Grassley, RIowa, who has been scrutinizing the investigation of TWA Flight 800, said Boeing risks ridicule by continuing to pursue a theory ruled out by the NTSB, the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and other experts.
Walkway roof at Church collapses, injures 23
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla.—The concrete roof of a covered walkway collapsed Sunday as churchgoers socialized between services and ate donuts and coffee, injuring 23 people
Dozens of people were on or near the 72-foot-long walkway at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church, eight miles north of Orlando, when the structure came down, witnesses said.
"I heard the crash, looked out the window, saw everybody running, but I didn't know what it was all about," said Sister Rita Galligan, who heard the collapse from her home at the convent next door. "When I went over there, they were just lying on the ground with people all around them."
The walkway links the church to the parish offices, and people must pass under it to get to the parking lot.
Eleven people were taken to hospitals by ambulance, and six of those were considered to be in serious condition, officials said. The rest either
went to hospitals on their own or were treated at the scene. The most serious injures included a woman with a hip fracture and a woman who suffered a spinal injury.
Accused mass murderer acted calm after shooting
HONOLULU—Byran Uyesuig was a model prisoner who ate heartily and slept restfully in the days following his arrest in the shooting deaths of seven Xerox Corp. coworkers, an officer assigned to watch him said.
"He was very calm and acted as if he had just stolen a crayon in a store. It was really surprising," said the police officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity Saturday.
The 40-year-old copier repairman accused in the worst mass murder in Hawaii history remained jailed on $7 million bail after pleading innocent Friday to one count of first-degree murder and seven counts of second-degree murder.
Police believe Uysugi entered the Xerox warehouse in Honolulu's industrial sector Tuesday and opened fire with a 9mm handgun. He surrendered after a five-hour standoff with police about four miles from the warehouse.
Uyesuagi was held until Friday at the Honolulu Police Department cellblock, a 53-cell underground holding facility. He has since been transferred to an Oahu prison.

Moderate aftershocks hit quake-weary Turks
ADAPAZARI, Turkey—Two moderate earthquakes rocked this town in western Turkey on Sunday, causing panic among tens of thousands of people living in tents since the deadly earthquake this summer that destroyed their houses.
The tremors with preliminary magnitudes of 5.0 and 4.3 — struck in one of the areas hit most severely by the Aug. 17 quake, which had a magnitude of 7.4 and left more than 17,000 people dead.
Following Sunday's tremors in Adapazari, seven people were hospitalized in state of shock, the Anatolia news agency said.
Istanbul's Kandilli observatory said the tremors were aftershocks to the August quake. Many aftershocks have struck the area since then.
There were no reports of damage. But authorities warned citizens not to enter houses damaged in the previous quake.
