Five die in air mishap; 8 missing
Police searching wooded country for survivors
By United Press International
SYDNEY, Australia — Five men were killed and another eight were missing and feared dead in the crash of a light plane yesterday in the heavily wooded country of central Queensland, police said.
The flight from Windorah to Towoomba in Queensland was logged as carrying 12 oil construction workers, police said. They could not establish, however, whether the plane picked up an additional oil rig crew of seven men.
Police said that they were uncertain how many men were aboard the twin-engine Beechercraft Super King Air when it crashed near Adavale, 540 miles north of Brisbane.
Five bodies were removed from the wrecked rear section of the plane, police said this morning. Police were still searching the rough, heavily timbered country for the fuselage.
Wreckage from the plane was scattered across 1.5 miles south of Adavale, police said.
Police from surrounding towns were searching the area. A spokesman said that if the seven oil workers and the pilot were on board when the plane crashed, they had no chance for survival.
The town's sole policeman was alerted to the crash when a group of people at a barbecue saw a fire some distance from the town.
Witnesses told doctors they heard a loud explosion seconds before the plane crashed, although Bill McConnell, a nurse who did not burst into flames on impact.
Police and aviation authorities said today that air safety control officers would investigate the crash.

Despite Governor Carlin's exercise in sharing, the more irreverent among us don't feel responsible for the legal framework which requires of all public school teachers an easy-to-come-by Education degree and thereby excludes from our public education system knowledgeable college graduates with major in. For instance, English, history, and physics. Perhaps Governor Carlin should remember that only he and a few other prominent public officials have the stature to bring this appealing state of affairs to light, but many do not acknowledge 'attention'. While Governor Carlin's desire to share the blame is politically understandable, it is also intellectually inexusable.

According to the Associated Press, Governor Carlin recently blamed everyone for statewide scores which revealed that 26 percent of the Kansas grade school and high school students tested did not have the reading and math skills needed to succeed at the next grade level. To those of us in the park, Governor Carlin's collective condemnation came, initially, as no surprise because, after all, the citizenry financially support and periodically elect some members of the government which oversees our public education system.
