Rescue efforts lower r of fatalities after crash GRAPEVINE (AP) — Minutes after a Delta jet crashed in flames Wednesday, emergency response teams mounted a massive rescue effort that helped to keep the fatality count miraculously low. Thirteen died when the Boeing 727 crashed and burned on takeoff for a flight to Salt Lake City, Delta officials said. Some of those involved in rescuing the 94 passengers from Flight 1141 were flooded with memories of what happened three years ago when another Delta jet crashed at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, killing 137. Others credited the 1985 accident with im provements in their rescue methods. “Flight 191 definitely gave us more experience,” said Mike Sympson, paramedic supervisor for the airport police and fire department. “When we got here, it was click, click, click.” Sympson arrived aboard one of the first three emer gency vehicles at the crash scene just three minutes af ter the 9:03 a.m. accident at the airport’s west end. Dozens of area fire trucks and helicopters and police vehicles converged on the prairie field southwest of the main airport tower, and within 10 minutes some of J first victims were being transported to local area hosfjj said. k Sympson and the first to arrive concentrated theirejl forts on establishing a triage area where crash survivtJj could be medically evaluated so the most seriouslytj jured could be sent to area hospitals first. Brian McKinney, an airport Department of Pukt Safety officer, was off-duty when he heard about ill crash on the news and came in to work about 9:40an! “1 just helped pull bodies out — about nine,” said Mil Kinney. “They were charred. Some of them were I seats. Some of them weren’t in seats. Some had beltsfj we had to take off. \EI fo"H “The ones that I pulled out were in the backoftlfc- » plane,’’he said. The paramedics said all they were told on plane was a Boeing 727. It wasn t until thick, blafc smoke cleared about 15 or 20 minutes later that tkP discovered they were working on another Delta plant ■re Sympson said the crash of Flight 1 141 appeareder* . ily similar to Flight 191. ■f!' Bush promises reduction in U.S. acid rain amounts h< ad mate afiei ,ovi puldi trap 1 ' P (>ul I Cl; From Associated Press Republican George Bush prom ised action to reduce acid rain on Wednesday and declared “I am an environmentalist.” Rival Michael Dukakis shot back: “Talk about an election-year convert.” Seeking to gain the initiative after two weeks of moribund cam paigning, the Democratic presi dential nominee delivered a broad attack on Bush for a second day, ri diculing his statements on the envi ronment and demanding an expla nation of his role in the Iran-Contra debacle. Bush, campaigning in Michigan, avoided mention of his rival’s name — a new course after weeks of calcu lated attacks. But his Republican running mate Dan Quayle picked up the cudgel and denounced Dukakis as a “defeatest liberal.” The Republicans continued to poke fun at Dukakis’s aged snow blower that became a symbol of his frugality at the Democratic conven tion. “His ideas are as old as that 25- year-old snow blower,” Quayle said in Baton Rouge, La. Dukakis campaign strategists were targeting Quayle, the Indiana sen ator whose selection stunned even Republican insiders. Dukakis cam paign manager Susan Estrich said they would depict his selection as an indication of poor judgment by Bush, and would make that one of the central themes of the fall cam- paign. “One issue we are certain to hear more of from Democrats across the board is the selection of Senator Quayle and his record and qualifica tions,” she said at a briefing in Bos ton. Quayle was unbowed by the pros pect of two more months of personal attack, saying, “I can stand the heal and I’ll stay in the kitchen.” A new ABC-Washington Post poll released Wednesday found twice as many voters thought the Democratic vice presidential candidate Lloyd Bentsen was more qualified than Quayle. But two-thirds said Quayle should remain on the ticket. The poll showed the presidential race a statistical dead heat — Duka kis had 48 percent to Bush’s 47 per cent, within the 3.5-point margin of Func ■ork error of the survey Aug. 24-3(i {■set 1.129 i egistered, likely voters. « ho Bush stood on the Michigansklkeep of Lake Erie to deliver a spceiftid aimed at separating himself froAe c the Reagan administration vJj| Fe more activist positions on major title a] vironmental issues of acid rain, none “greenhouse" ef fet t and pollute in Ri waters.
