conference that the investigation team yesterday found the crash-proof boxes containing the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder. The boxes will be shipped today to Washington for analysis.

Donner said the cause of the crash. was still unknown.
"When we're in this phase of the investigation, we're really just a fool."
The team spent the day interviewing witnesses to the crash, examining wreckage and trying to reconstruct what led to the crash. he said.
Several people who saw the airplane just before it crashed said that its signal lights were working and that nothing about the airplane's appearance was unusual. Donner said.
At the time of the crash, the weather was foggy, with overcast skies and clouds 100 feet above the airport at KCI was 6,000 feet. Donner said.
The airplane apparently clipped some trees with its right wing, Donner said. It was heading east when it crashed, although the runway is to the north.
The crew told air traffic controllers they were descending to an altitude of 10,000 feet, and then to 5,000 feet, he said.
Although the pilot had control of the airplane, he was guiding it by instruments rather than by sight, Donner said.
At that point, the airplane was about 5 miles south of the runway. Controllers heard nothing more from the crew, Donner said.
He said it might be six months before his investigation team sent its report to board members.

Snake
"For instance, in the last chapter there is a list of endangered snake species. And for people who keep snakes as pets, there's a wonderful table that lists all the known foods that snakes eat," he said.
Collins said that hundreds of Lawrence residents kept snakes as pets, primarily out of curiosity in the limbless reptiles.
When Collins had a pet snake as a child, he expected it to be more like other pets.
"However, I quickly got serious and realized that snakes aren't affectionate at all." he said.
Snakes have a fear-fascination element for most people, Collins said.
"Most adults are afraid of
snakes, and they typically react to snakes by killing them.' he said.
However, he said, the reptile house was usually the most popular attraction at zoos and that people liked to look at snakes as long as they were safely behind glass.
Novak recommended that people first consult an expert and then begin handling small, non-poisonous snakes to overcome their fear of snakes.
Novak is studying Russian language and culture so that she will be able to translate Russian research on snakes and other reptiles into English. Russian is the most frequent language besides English used in scientific papers, she said.
