He said later in Lyon that
ranee would not pull its troops
ut of Chad over the incident,
iking in a reference to Libya,
ihould we let a foreign army
ivade Chad and risk a destabi-
alion of Africa?”
French news media raised
3 uestions about the soldiers’
eaths. “There are many ques
tions — was this a real accident
or an attack in the Chad civil
war?” one television commenta
tor asked.
The Paris dews paper Journal
du Dimanche headlined, “Se
cret Deaths of Nine Paras —
killed in circumstances still not
clear.”
Hernu originally announced
Saturday that nine soldiers were
killed and six were wounded
earlier in the day when a shell
exploded in an abandoned re
bel tank while they were clean
ing up a battlefield of Chad’s
civil war.

Pilot loses control on take-off
Stunt plane crash at air show kills 5
United Press International
TENERIFE, Spain — A stunt
plane flown by Spain’s top air
acrobat went out of control on
takeoff Sunday and crashed in
flames into a crowd of 6,000
screaming people, killing the pi
lot and four spectators, authori
ties said.
The crash, which killed a 9-
year-old boy and his 12-year-
old sister, occurred at accident-
prone Los Rodeos Airport at
Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the
Canary Islands, which in 1977
was the site of the world’s worst
air disaster.
About 15 of the spectators
were injured, several seriously,
when pilot Augustin Gil de
Montes, Spain’s stunt Hying
champion, had difficulty gain
ing altitude on takeoff and ap
parently lost control of the
plane, officials said.
The one-passenger “Z-50”
stunt plane dove to the ground,
caught fire and bounced in
flames along the tarmac for 100
yards, crashing through a
wooden barrier into a crowd of
screaming spectators who tried
to dive out of the way.
Authorities identified the
dead spectators as Daniel Perez
Suarez, 9, his sister, Carmen
Raquel Perez Suarez, 12, Anto
nio Martin Bethencourt, about
50, and Teresa Diaz Ojeda,
about 35.
Two other members of the
Perez Suarez family were
among the injured — the chil
dren’s mother, Maria Suarez,
who underwent surgery, and
another son, Agustin.
Another injured woman had
to have both legs amputated,
doctors at Tenerife General
Hospital said.
There was no immediate of fi
cial statement on the possible
causes of the accident. But one
witness, Senator Fernando Pa-
dron, blamed it on “recklessness
by the pilot, which risked too
much his own life and the lives
of the public.”
The crowd, which included
many children from Tenerife
and surrounding islands, had
gathered in front of the han
gars lor “Airport Week” festivi
ties to watch air acrobatic stunts,
parachuting demonstrations
and firefighting shows.
“Everything was marvelous,
it was a beautiful day and a
great show until this misfortune
struck,” said airport firefighter
Elias Fernandez.
“The plane dived and hit the
runway. It was in flames and
heading for the people. It trav
eled for 100 yards. Everyone
was screaming and the crowd
parted to get out of the way,” he
said.
“It was great luck that it hit
the runway first and not the
crowd or there would have been
at least 100 dead.”
One injured girl, identified
only as Monica, told reporterl.
“It all seemed like a dream. All I
saw was a plane rushing at us
and a lot of people running and
others lying on the ground.”
Los Rodeos Airport was the
site March 27, 1977, of the
world’s worst air disaster when
583 people died in a foggy run
way collision between a KLM
747 and a Pan Am jumbo jet.
