Plane crash causes still are unclear
The Associated Press
CARROLLTON, Ga. — A blade had snapped off the left propeller of a commuter plane that crashed into a Georgia hay field, killing five people, a federal investigator said yesterday.
But John Hammerschmidt, an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, said it was unclear when the blade snapped off or if it contributed to Monday's crash. A piece of the blade was found in the wreckage, but most of it was missing, he said.
"It should be able to be flown, depending on the circumstances, and we don't know all the circumstances in this case," Hammerschmidt said.
The plane, an Embrara 120 twoengine turboprop, was designed so it could fly on just one engine, Hammerschmidt said.
At least one passenger reported hearing an explosion in the engine before the crash.
Pilot Ed Gannaway and four passengers died after the Atlantic Southeast Airlines turboprop crashed into a field Monday and broke into three large pieces. But the 24 other people aboard the plane survived.
"The pilot seemed to do an outstanding job of bringing that plane down as best he could, and I think that's what saved most of us," said passenger Chuck Pfister.
"He missed the wires and landing on the houses, and found an opening," said Frances Boone, who lives near the crash site. He had to be a marvelous pilot, Boonesaid.
The plane, on a flight from Atlanta to Gulfport, Miss, left a scarred path in the hayfield, indicating it barely cleared trees before hitting the ground. Some of the passengers fled the wreckage with their clothing ablaze.
The flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder have been recovered from the crash site and sent by plane to a laboratory in Washington, D.C., transportation board spokesman Alan Pollock said yesterday.
Air Force Maj. Chuck LeMay of Bellevue, Neb., said that he and other passengers heard an explosion from the left engine
just before the crash.
"From that we all looked out over the left wing," he said. "All of the metal around the engine was all peeled back. The propeller had thrust over to the left and appeared stuck in the wing."
Of the 26 passengers, one was dead at the scene, a married couple died later at separate hospitals, and a fourth passenger died yesterday. At least eight people were in critical condition yesterday at burn centers.
"There were other people who were worse," he said. "They were totally engulfed (in flames)."
Passenger Kevin Bubier of Waterbore, Maine, said that he found himself hanging upside down after the crash.
"My clothes caught fire," Bubier said. "It must have been the fuel because my one pants leg was burning, and I couldn't put it out. I was trying to take off my shoes and my nappas."
Polona Jeter, who lived nearby, said she saw the front of the plane rolling, tumbling and on fire as the aircraft came apart.
"I could see about 10 people
One injured man arrived on her front porch and used the phone to leave a message for his wife in Maine. "His clothes were burned off. His undershorts were all that was left," she said. "The skin just rolled off his body."
getting out," she said. "Some were burning. They were running. People were trying to get them down and get it out."
Witnesses guilty as attackers, mother says
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Dortha Word condemns the people who watched as her daughter was attacked and chased off a bridge to her death early Saturday morning as being "guilty as the ones that did it."
today that one was being charged with murder.
Dozens of onlookers gathered, and some cheered, as three men pulled 33-year-old Deletha Word from her car, ripped off her clothes and chased her until she either jumped from or was forced off the Belle Isle bridge.
"I can just feel it," Dortha Word said Monday, crying into her hands, pictures of her family filling the walls of her home. "My baby was down there all by herself. I know she was scared to death."
None of the 40 or so passers-by tried to help her during the confrontation, said Sgt. John Morel. Three suspects have been arrested, and prosecutors said
Belle Isle, a popular island park in the Detroit River between Michigan and Canada, was packed with people early Saturday morning.
Trouble started around 3 a.m., Morel said, when Word was involved in two minor traffic accidents. A car with three men inside chased her onto the bridge connecting the island to Detroit and rammed her car, forcing her to stop.
One of the men smashed her car with a crowbar and pulled her from the car, ripping off some of her clothes, said Cmdr. Gerald Stewart. The man pushed her against the car and beat her, he said.
When Word tried to run, police said the man with the crowbar chased her. What happened after that is unclear.
Mrs. Word was sure her daughter was forced into the river.
"They ... made her leap over that bridge and beat her hands. She was holding onto the bridge, and beat her hands away from that banister," she sobbed, citing an account she said police gave her.
Word's cousin Carol Neely said
Word would have never jumped
because she did not know how to swim. The bridge is about 32 feet above the water.
Word's body was found miles downstream late Saturday morning. It was missing one leg, possibly cut off by a boat's propeller.
Police arrested two 20-year-olds and a 19-year-old on Sunday with help from witness tips, said Lt. Billy Jackson.
This afternoon, assistant prosecutor Richard Padzieski said that his office was seeking a warrant charging one man with second-degree murder. He said no charges were filed against the other two, but still might be later. Prosecutors were seeking a judge to approve the murder warrant.
