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.

“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

Bush promises reduction
in U.S. acid rain amounts

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
