Jet crashes in snowstorm; 19 killed
The Associated Press
DENVER — A Continental Airlines jet with 81 people aboard flipped on its back while taking off from Stapleton airport in a snowstorm yesterday and skidded along the runway, killing at least 19 people and injuring 54 more, authorities said.
"We counted 18 dead outside the plane, and there are several dead in the fuselage," said Stapleton International Airport spokesman Richard Boulleau. "People walked away from the crash, officials said.
The DC-9 twin-engine jet, Flight 1713, was carrying 76 passengers and five crew members from Denver to Boise, Idaho, said Continental spokesman Ned Walker. Walker said the flight originated in Oklahoma City, and the crash took place shortly after 2 p.m. MST.
Rescue work was hampered by poor visibility and by falling snow and ice, and some survivors were still trapped inside the plane more than four hours after the accident, authorities said.
"Many people are survivors at this point," Walker said. "It's too early to speculate on anything that could have occurred (to make the plane crash)."
The National Transportation Safety Board chairman James Burnett and nine Washington-based investigators will fly to Denver to investigate the crash. NTSB spokesman Ted Lotkiewicz said,
Peter Pons, a physician at Denver General Hospital, said there were 19 confirmed deaths and that 54 people were taken to area hospitals with injuries, and three were in critical condition. He said eight people were believed to be in the
wreckage, with one or two of them believed still alive.
Rescue workers set up emergency lights on the runway and used electric saws to cut through wreckage. The airport was closed shortly after the accident.
"Right now there's emergency operations trying to get injured people extracted from the plane," said Denver police officer John Wyckoff. "It's just a chaotic scene right now."
Aircraft tower authorities reported seeing a fireball when the accident occurred, but other officials said any fire in the plane was minimal.
Paul Spurgeon, division chief with the Denver Fire Department, said the plane flipped upside down on a north-south runway and skidded for over one-quarter mile before coming to a halt.
Talks to end with deficit reduction plan
The Associated Press
AXΩ ΑΔΠ ΑΓΩ ΑΦ ΑОΠ ΧΩ ΔΔΛ ΔΓ ΓΦ
WASHINGTON — Deficit reduction talks between the White House and Congress are into their deadline week with participants confident of success because they cannot permit a failure.
"The whole country views it as a test of whether the president and Congress can really govern." Rep. Carlyle said the negotiators, said this weekend.
This week, the bargainers will need determine the details to flesh out a plan to reduce the deficit by $75 billion or more over the next two years.
The goal of the talks, which began three weeks ago after the Wall Street collapse, is to reduce the fiscal 1988 deficit by at least $23 billion to an estimated $144 billion, as required by the Gramm-Rudman law. That would avert automatic spending cuts under the budget-balancing law, which without agreement would take effect Friday.
The bargainers go into this week with the outline of an agreement that for fiscal 1988 would:
- Raise taxes about $10 billion, plus add some new fees for government services and step up enforcement of income tax laws.
- Allow the Pentagon about $285.5 billion to spend this year, more than in 1987 but far less than the $297 billion Reagan requested.
- Restrain inflation growth in domestic agency budgets, to save about $2.8 billion, and cut costs in Medicare and farm subsidies by up to $5 billion combined.
Stretched into fiscal 1989, the program would cut that deficit by $44 billion to $50 billion, including $19 billion in higher taxes.
Those items, along with concurrent savings in debt payments that result, would satisfy Gramm-Rudman. Another $6.3 billion could be saved through some accounting maneuvers, including refinancing of rural electric loans and changes in selling terms of a government loan portfolio.
That would bring the total fiscal 1988 savings to about $32 billion.
The talks nearly collapsed on Thursday but resumed on Friday.
"Not only didn't we like the taste of it, but clearly the signal from our fellow members (was) they wanted something significant done," Sen. Pete V. Domenici, R-N.M., a negotiator and senior Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, said this weekend.

His Holiness Maharshi Mahbish Yogi, Founder of the Transcendental Meditation Program
Dear Student.
Dear Student,
There's something you can do for a short time each day that will improve.
Scientific Research You'll also learn about the vast amount of scientific research that's been done on TM (more than 350 studies worldwide over the past 15 years).
a day that will improve every aspect of your life—your grades, your future career, your relationships, everything—all at the same time. What's more, it easy to do. Over 1,000,000 students have experienced the benefits. And you can too.
"Experiencing the unified field through the TM technique really gives me more support of nature. As soon as I began TM everything became much pointier and average went up a whole point!" --Sam Boothby Ph.D., candidate Education Harvard University
My name is Kevin Blair. I'm president of the student government at Maharishi International University, where students, faculty and staff work. My MTE technique. I want to tell you three things about the upcoming lecture:
You'll learn about it soon at a special free lecture on the Transcendental Meditation technique, and regardless of what you've already heard about TM, this entertaining talk will surprise and enlighten you. More than that, it may well change your life
1 At the lecture, you'll learn how the simple, natural TM technique, which is practiced for 1 to 20 minutes twice a day, brings you physical health and body, and how these benefits automatically improve one's social behavior, school and job performance, and much more.
If you really want to know how to improve your grades, your career,and your life, there's an upcoming lecture you shouldn't miss.
increased intelligence
And you'll learn that a lot of the research findings are directly relevant to your personal and academic development as a student. For example, is a partial list of the research results in the field of education:
improved comprehension, concentration, and memory
increased learning ability
increased speed in solving problems
broader comprehension and ability to form attention
- increased creativity
- broader ampersand
- ■ improved academic performance
- reduced stress and anxiety
- decreased use of drugs,
alcohol, and cigarettes
- reduced stress and anxiety
alcohol, and cigarettes increased happiness.
Now, I'm sure you'd like to have some of those qualities growing in your life. Well you can. And the beautiful thing is that they grow naturally, simply as a result of practicing the TM technique.
increased happiness
improved relationships between students and teachers
World Peace
improved mind-body coordination
improved athletic performance
Finally, if you are concerned not just with your own future, but also the future of our nation and the world, there's even more reason to attend the lecture.
This is because the TM technique doesn't just help the individual. The coherence generated when people practice TM extends beyond what is shown that when as little as the square root of one percent of a
population practices the TM program and its advanced aspects, the entire population becomes more orderly, peaceful, and progressive.
"TM is the best antidote to stress I know of. When individuals are free of stress, they behave more harmoniously. I'm convinced that if people practiced TM, world would be a healthier." —Karlieh D. Kinn, Director, Institute for World Leadership Former Director-General, Caribbean Community and Common Market
This "Super Radiance Effect" has been demonstrated in communities, cities—even entire nations. This brings great hope for the future of humanity and the age-old problems of world peace may at last have a solution.
It Works!
If you're wondering how one simple technique can bring so many benefits to mind, body, behavior, and even the world as a whole, I urge you to attend the free lecture. The explanation you'll hear is at once simple, scientific, and profound.
"TM is the single most important part of being a peak performer. It gives you the ability to excel in an environment of stress, it allows you to bend based on rapid changes, and to do so functioning very well."
- Christopher Hughes, President Hegerty and Associates San Francisco, CA
"W when you practice TM, you can perform the
You'll hear, for example, about the unified field of all the laws of nature as described by modern physics and by ancient Vedic science. And about how the TM technique lets you experience the universe within your consciousness. And about how that experience, gained regularly, brings you the support of all the laws of nature.
When you practice TM, you can experience the full range of education—not just classroom knowledge, but developing the knowen, and that's yourself!" —Karen Blasdell Ph.D. candidate Neuroscience Maharishi International University
The main thing, however, is that TM works. I know from my own experience. I've been practicing the technique for 6 years, and its made me more relaxed, yet more dynamic and productive. As soon as I'm enjoying greater success—both in and out of the classroom!
Of course, whether you start the TM technique or not is up to you. But doesn't it make sense to at least attend the lecture? If even ten percent of what I've said about the TM technique it could mean for your achievement and happiness for the rest of your life.
