DURANGO, Colo. (AP) — Survi
vors of a commuter airplane crash
that killed nine people managed a
“superhuman feat” by walking 1 ‘/a
miles through darkness, tangled
brush and waist-deep snow, authori
ties said Wednesday.
The only survivor with boots on,
39-year-old Peter Schauer of Boone-
ville, Mo., made his way to a farm
house and summoned help after
Tuesday night’s Continental Express
crash.
Six others also made their way
out, while an eighth survivor was
rescued from the crash site.
“Under normal conditions, no
body could walk through this,” La
Plata sheriff’s Sgt. Dan Bender said.
“But the survivors were not under
normal conditions. Adrenalin,
shock, whatever — they did a super
human feat.”
The crash, which occurred in
thick brushland 10 miles east of this
southwestern Colorado city, demo
lished the plane’s nose, hut spared
passengers seated in the rear.
Officials said the plane, en route
from Denver, went down minutes
after flight controllers cleared it to
land at 7:05 p.m. at La Plata County
Airport, about five miles from the
crash site.

Wednesday from his hospital
room at Mercy Medical Center in
Durango, Schauer said, “I said, ‘I’m
going to get help,’ and 1 was gone.
Nobody could keep up with me.”
He said he climbed to the top of a
hill and used lights in the distance to
guide him.
“I would count 50 steps and then
rest,” he said. “I was hurt and it was
exhausting. The snow was up to my
waist, and I’m over six feet. At times
I hit some gullies and the snow went
up to my shoulders.”
Behind Schauer were six other
passengers, one a 23-month-old girl,
who made their way to a highway.
Thelma Tate, 79, answered a
knock at her door about a half-hour
after the plane went down to find
Schauer limping and shivering out
side.
“I thought maybe he had been in
a bad car wreck,” Tate said.
Sheriff Bill Gardner said it took
them more than an hour to reach
the crash site, guided by Schauer’s
footprints.
Some traveled on skis carrying
flashlights and battery-powered
headlamps. Snow tractors and a bull
dozer were used to cut a trail
through the scrub oak and brush
along the rolling hills and hum
mocks.

AUSTIN, Minn. (AP) — Neigh
bors of an 86-year-old man who po
lice say was killed by two teen-agers
for ajar of pennies shake their heads
in disbelief when they talk about the
victim and the two 16-year-olds.
“You feel it’s going to happen in
Chicago or New York; now it’s next
door,” said Jane Felten, a secretary
at St. Augustine Roman Catholic
Church, where both the victim, Mi
chael L. Fijik, and the suspects at
tended services.
“They murdered this man for a
jarful of pennies,” Carol Kuettner,
executive director of the Mower
County Senior Center, where Fink
was a frequent visitor, said.
Police arrested the teen-agers,
whose names have not been released
because they are juveniles, on Mon
day, three days after a neighbor
found Fink’s home on fire. Authori
ties believe the young men set fire to
the house after the robbery to dis
guise the crime, Police Chief Donald
Hoffman said.
The Rev. Charles Collins, of Fe-
Roy, has known both youths since
his days as an assistant pastor at St.
Augustine from 1981-86. He now
teaches next door at Pacelli High
School, the parochial school that the
teen-agers attended.
“One was in constant trouble,”
Collins said. “Some even pinned his
early problems on the fact he was su
per-bright. The other one, every
body was just stunned. He was never
a discipline problem.”
The Rev. Charles Quinn, who has
been pastor at St Augustine for
eight years, said, “There’s a sense of
community shame in that we are one
family and that this could have hap
pened.^
Quinn said he saw Fink, a wid
ower with three children, at Mass a
few times every week.
“He was this tall, gangly man who
shuffled along,” he said. “I think
people would think he was crotchety
because he was tone deaf and
wouldn’t answer.”
T hat image belied Fink’s true na
ture, Quinn said.
“He was a gentle man,” he said.
As for the teen-agers’ families, the
priest described them as “very fine
E eople and, I am sure, traumatized
y the whole thing.”
Each youth has been charged in
juvenile court with two counts of
first-degree murder, one count of
aggravated robbery and one count
of arson, Mower County Attorney
Nancy Evans said. They are to be
transferred from the Mower County
jail to a juvenile detention center in
Red Wing pending further court
proceedings.
The two were arrested Monday
afternoon when their parents took
them in to be interviewed by author
ities.
The pennies and a hunting knife,
which authorities say was used to
stab Fink, were found during a
search of the boys’ homes.
An autopsy showed that Fink,
who had multiple stab wounds and
his throat cut, died of a stab wound
to the heart.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A fed
eral safety agency on Wednesday
blamed impairment from drugs and
the failure to require automatic
braking devices on freight trains for
the collision of an Amtrak passenger
train and a string of freight locomo
tives a year ago.
The crash near Chase, Md., out
side Baltimore, was the worst in Am-
trak’s history, killing 16 people and
injuring 175. The accident also refo
cused attention on drug use in the
railroad industry.
The National Transportation
Safety Board concluded after a year
long investigation that the probable
cause of the crash was the impair
ment of Conrail engineer Ricky
Gates from marijuana and possibly
alcohol.
Gates and his brakeman, Edward
Cromwell, were the only people
aboard the three Conrail locomo
tives when they passed two slow
down signals and a stop signal and
screeched into the path of the Am
trak train, which was traveling at 125
mph.
The NTSB said the effects of the
drug use by Cates and Cromwell
caused them not to notice warning
signals both inside the locomotive
cab and over the tracks until it was
too late to make a safe stop.
Investigators said the Contrail lo
comotives never went slower than 60
mph'before Gates frantically applied
the emergency brakes in the last sec
onds. Had the available warnings
been heeded, Cates could have
halted with more than 2,000 feet to
spare, the report said.
While the focus of the N TSB in
vestigation has been drug use by the
two Conrail employees, the safety
board also took Amtrak and the Fed
eral Railroad Administration to task
for not requiring that all freight
trains operating in the busy North
east corridor be equipped with
backup automatic braking devices.
That brought a sharp response
from FRA Administrator John Ri
ley. He acknowledged that federal
agencies “mishandled” the auto
matic train braking issue over the
past decade but maintained that the
NTSB is as much at fault as any
body.
The safety board “ought to be
candid enough to add itself to the
agencies that mishandled this issue .
. . There’s enough blame to go
around,” Riley said.
While the NTSB called for auto
matic braking equipment on freight
trains after an accident in 1978 it
withdrew the recommendation four
years later and influenced the ac
tions of other federal officials, he ar
gued.
Since the Amtrak accident, Riley’s
agency has directed all trains in the
Northeast corridor to have the auto
matic braking equipment.
