Collision kills 23 at Air Force base
Wednesday
Military investigating cause of plane crash
POPE AIR FORCEBASE, N.C. —An Air Force F-16D collided in the air with another plane while trying to land and crashed to the runway in flames, spewing debris that ignited a huge transport plane, and skidded into a staging area filled with paratroopers.
The Associated Press
The collision killed 23 and injured 82. Fifty-six remained hospitalized Saturday.
The two pilots aboard the F-16D ejected successfully and the other plane, a C-130 transport, landed safely with its five crew members, said Air Force Brig. Gen. Bobby Floyd. All seven were in good condition.
The Air Force is investigating the accident.
The fatalities were on the ground and in the C-141 transport plane that was preparing to take off with paratroopers for training exercises, said Gene Sexton, deputy chief of public affairs at nearby Fort Bragg. Most of
the injuries consisted of burns and broken bones.
After the pilots ejected, the F-16D crashed and burst into flames, sending engines and sheared metal flying, Floyd said. The crash occurred about 2:30 p.m.
The F-16D and the C-130 were both practicing landing when they collided, Floyd said. The C-130 had completed its training exercise with paratroopers and was returning nearly empty to the air force base.
"For some unknown reason, they both appeared at the same time, at the same place." Floyd said. "Obviously, there was a failure to communicate. Both pilots thought they were cleared to land."
As the F-16D skidded on the tarmac, part of the debris hit the C-141's fuel tanks, igniting a blaze that took firefighters 30 minutes to extinguish.
Several paratroopers and residents of Spring Lake, which is near the air base, told the Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer Times that the skies over the bases have been much busier since F-16s arrived at the base last year.
The fighter then skidded off the runway and into an area where Army troops from the 82nd Airborne, the 18th Aviation Brigade and other Fort Bragg units were preparing for jumping exercises.
"There were a lot of planes out there in the air that day," said Rebecca Camargo, wife of one of the dead soldiers. "I know somebody messed up royally out there, and I want that answer. I want to know why."
miles south of Raleigh.

Lt. Col. Glenn Williams, who oversees the base's safety office, denied claims that there is too much air traffic.
"You're in as much danger of a car running off the street and through you house as an airplane falling out of the sky onto your house," Williams said.
Pope is no busier than the region's commercial airports, Williams said. There are about 100 takeoffs and 100 landings a day, the base's public information office said. There are a combined 800 takeoffs and landings a day at the civilian Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Pope has one runway; the Raleigh-Durham airport has three.
President Bill Clinton surveyed the charred site of the crash Friday.
Activist guilty of shooting abortion doctor
The Associated Press
Thursday
WICHTA, Friday — An anti-b abortion activist who admitted she shot an abortion doctor and considered blowing up his clinic was convicted of attempted murder Friday by a jury that deliberated only about an hour.
The Sedgwick County District Court jury also convicted Rachelle "Shelley" Shannon of one count of aggravated assault for pointing a gun at an employee of George Tiller, the physician wounded in the Aug. 19 attack outside his clinic.
The,37-year-old Grants Pass, Ore., woman showed no emotion as the verdict was read.
Earlier Friday, Shannon had testified that she considered bombing Tiller's clinic after she learned he was back at work the day after she had wounded him in both arms.
Fire from pipeline explosion leaves one dead, 250 homeless
The Associated Press
EDISON, N.J. — First came the roar, then a redish-orange glow was shining in the middle of the night. As the flames leaped 100 feet into the air, barefoot pajama-clad residents fled for their lives.
Teams of rescue workers and dogs scoured a bombed-out neighborhood for possible victims of the natural-gas explosion that leveled eight apartment-complex buildings and sparked an inferno visible in three states.
The blast, early Thursday, left at least 250 people homeless. Nearly 500 people sought shelter at a Red Cross evacuation center at the township's high school. More than 1,500 people from the apartment complex and surrounding homes were evacuated.
A 32-year-old woman who lived in the apartment complex was the only fatality reported by a medical official to Mayor George Spadoro. About 40 of the 250 people living in the destroyed buildings had not been accounted for Thursday. The last of the missing residents were accounted for Friday night.
likely saved many lives, said Gov. Christie Whitman. Whitman declared a state of emergency for the area Fridav.
A seven- to 10-minute gap between the explosion and the start of the fire
Hospital officials reported at least 100 people injured, mostly with minor burns and smoke inhalation.
Small Business Administration representative Erskine Bowles said that about 500 units of the Durham Woods Apartment Complex and five nearby businesses were significantly damaged.
Township officials said more than 1,500 people lived at the Durham Woods Apartments which has about 60 two and three-story buildings with up to 16 apartments per building. Eight buildings, a total of 128 apartments, burned to the ground and several others were damaged.
National Transportation Safety Board investigators announced Saturday that past construction work probably caused a rupture in the pipeline.
Experts plan to take a piece of the pipe back to NTSB laboratories in Washington, D.C., for microscopic examination to determine how long the deformity had been there and exactly what caused it.
Mexico's No.1 presidential hopeful killed
Wednesday
Colosio, 44, the candidate of Mexico's ruling party, has been under attack by political opponents since Nov. 28, when Salinas named him as standard-bearer for the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or the PRI. The party has won every presidential election for the past 65 years.
In Mexico City, President Carlos Salinas de Gortari went on national radio and lamented the attack as an "infamous act." He said he had ordered his attorney general to Tijuana to head the investigation.
The Associated Press
Critics complained his freemarket economic policies were too close to those of the Salinas administration, which so far has brought little improvement to Mexico's poor. Colosio had stressed the social programs and environmental protection he would implement.
TJUANA, Mexico—The man expected to become Mexico's next president, Luis Donaldo Colosio, was shot twice and killed during a campaign appearance in the border city of Tijuana.
Colosio had just finished speaking to about 3,000 people in a canyon area in Colonia Loma Taurina, near Tijuana's international airport, when shots rang out.
Mario Aburto Martinez, 23, was apprehended at the scene and confessed to the killing, Mexican Attorney General Diego Valades said Thursday. Aburto was charged with first-degree murder Friday but refused to tell investigators whether he had accomplices. He indicated that other people may have been involved, said Xavier Carajal, a lawyer who represented Aburto during a three-hour interrogation.
Aburto told investigators he only wanted to wound Colosio and to call attention to his own pacifist views, said Carajal.

Mexican federal law enforcement officials said Aburto was the only gunman, but they have not discussed a motive or ruled out a plot involving others.
