The Enterprise remained in
tact with only visual inspections
permitted until Saturday, when
dozens of investigators, federal
safety officials, and lawyers
gathered to document the dis
mantlement.
Workers for Continental
Park Attractions, the New York
company that owns the ride,
slowly began removing the ride’s
gondolas as investigators photo
graphed, diagrammed and mea
sured tiny parts of the ride’s
structure.
One of the Enterprise’s gon
dolas ripped off the high speed
ride Oct. 17, killing one of its
passengers, 19-year-old William
Wade Phillips, and injuring 16
bystanders as it skidded 40 feet
along the midway.
Fred Stradley, a Dallas lawyer
said Saturday that weeks ot tests,
metal analyses and engineering
studies must be completed be
fore a cause of the accident will
be determined.
The breakdown of the ride is
continuing slowly as representa
tives from the State Fair, U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Com
mission, the ride’s manufactur
er, and the people injured in the
accident watch and approve
each step of the procedure.

went down in 12 feet of water
near Free Mason Island off
the Louisiana coast.
Their companion, Hatties
burg lawyer Bill Porter, is still
missing.
A Coast Guard spokesman
said searchers were combing
the area around the crash site,
trying to detect a sign of Por

“If we could find the
wreckage, divers from the
New Orleans Police Depart
ment probably would dive on
it,” the spokesman said.
