108 Feared Dead In Air Crash
KANO, Nigeria (A*)—A charter
ed jetliner carrying 202 Moslems
home from a pilgrimage to Mecca
crashed and burned on the runway
of Kano’s airport Monday while
coming in for a landing in a fog.
Officials said they fear 180 per
sons perished.
They reported 30 survived, all
of them severely burned. The
plane had a crew of eight.
This would make the crash the
world’s deadliest air disaster in
volving a single aircraft. One
hundred seventy-six persons died
in the crash of a Soviet Aeroflot
jet near Moscow last Oct. 13.
The crash here was the 11th
in little over a year in which
100 or more persons were killed
in various parts of the world.
The one previous to this was the
crash of an Eastern Air Lines
jet in the Florida Everglades on
Dec. 30, which cost 101 lives.
The Boeing 707 of the Royal
Jordanian Airlines burst into
flames as it touched down at
Kano’s tiny airport, witnesses
said.
The pilot was identified by a
Royal Jordanian spokesman in
Amman as Capt. John Water
man, an American whose wife
and children live in Beirut, Leba
non. The spokesman said the air
line had been informed that he
and the seven other crew mem
bers were among the survivors.
The four-engine plane had
flown about 2,100 miles from Jid
da, near Mecca, in Saudi Arabia.
Mecca is the Moslems’ holiest
place.
Kano airport officials said visi
bility was about 1,500 feet when
the Jordanian plane crashed
around 10 a.m.
Officials said the aircraft had
been scheduled to fly to Lagos,
Nigeria’s capital about 730 miles
to the southwest, but was diverted
to Kano because of foul weather.
Thousands of Nigerians flocked
to the airport and many wailed
and shouted with grief for the
dead, most of whom were believ
ed to be Nigerians.
The pilot’s wife told a news
man in Beirut, she had heard
from aviation sources that the
runway collapsed at the point
at which the aircraft touched
down.
She said her husband, a World
War II Air Force veteran, had
ibeen flying for 20 years in the
Middle East and had logged 20,-
000 hours’ flying time.
Waterman was bora in Fresno,
Calif., but had not maintained
a U.S. residence for many years,
his wife said.

DETROIT <A»)—General Motors
recalled 3.7 million 1971 and 1972
cars Monday to correct possible
steering lockups which the com
pany said are believed responsi
ble for at least 12 injuries.
The automaker said it had re
ports of 96 incidents in which fly
ing stones allegedly lodged be
tween the coupling and car frame,
causing steei-ing interference.
Twenty-three accidents, involving
12 injuries, were reported.
GM said the cars being recalled
were full-size 1971 and 1972
models of Chevrolets, Buicks,
Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs.
They will be fitted with a shield
over the steering coupling, the
company explained, to prevent
the possibility of stones or gravel
lodging between' the coupling and
the car frame.
Although the list price on the
shield is only 85 cents, the recall
could cost the auto giant more
than $12 million. The postage bill
alone will be an estimated $1.6
million, and a spokesman said
labor costs would be about $3 per
car.
Notices to owners will start
going out in about two weeks,
GM said, and the shields will be
installed free of charge.

In announcing the recall, GM
said its own investigations and
those conducted by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Admin
istration showed lock-ups could
occur “if a car is driven over
loose gravel, on extremely rutted
roads at speeds which cause the
car to pitch excessively.”
Under such circumstances, the
company added, the front frame
cross-member may scoop up loose
stones or gravel from the road
way.
