Four injured
in explosion
near Refugio
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) Four
South Texas men injured in an ex
plosion and gas fire at a natural gas
facility near Refugio remain in hos
pitals in Corpus Christi and San An
tonio where they are being treated
for burns.
Authorities suspect leaking natu
ral gas as the cause of the explosion
Saturday night at a Pennzoil gas
compressor facility about eight miles
northeast of Refugio.
Ramiro Rocha, 46, and James Roy
Durst, 35, both of Refugio, were be
ing treated Monday at a Corpus
Christi hospital for burns they re-
cieved in the explosion.
Gary Lyn Wright, 27, of Refugio,
was airlifted to Brooke Army Medi
cal Center’s burn unit at San Anto
nio Sunday night, authorities said.
John Lindblom, 45, of Wood-
sboro, was taken to the military hos
pital in San Antonio Saturday night.
The State Fire Marshal’s office is
aiding local authorities in an investi
gation to determine the cause of the
explosion and flash fire that took
place for currently unknown causes.

Delta wreckage
^y,..■ <RAPE 1'/NK (AP) — Huge mechanical jaws
che ved through the left wing of the Delta Air
Besjel that crashed in flames last week, while
T-j-Hst federal investigators returned to Washing
ton toting conflicting evidence on the cause of
HfB^air disaster that killed 13.
uj^Hlhe handful of National Transportation
Tj^Bety Board investigators who stayed behind
were awaiting an interview with Capt. Larry
Da'-is, who investigators hope can answer linger-
questions about Wednesday’s crash of Flight
11 1, which crashed and burned within seconds
i ■takeoff at Dallas-Fort Worth International
Air ort. The plane was bound for Salt Lake City.
Nmety-five passengers survived the crash.

HHl w'as to undergo surgery this week. But Kathy
Sfltney, Parkland Hospital vice president, said
Plus was not yet scheduled to speak with the in-
^^Aigators.
^■The wing of the Boeing 727 was sheared in
half and hauled away by a bulldozer.
“Right now it’s wreckage work, preparatory to
the NTSB’s releasing it to Delta,” said Joe Dealey,
spokesman for Dallas-Fort Worth International
Airport.
NTSB spokesman Mike Benson said he was
unsure when the fuselage would be removed and
where it would go, but said it would be inspected
to determine the condition of the passenger seats
and the extent of fire damage suf fered.
Although most of the 22 federal investigators
returned to Washington over the Labor Day
weekend, several remained in Texas retrieving
still more pieces of the wreckage.
“A good number are there that are just fin
ishing up in terms of collecting and typing up
their notes,” Benson said. “This is a difficult acci
dent.”
Benson said the same group of investigators
who spoke with the crew’s first officer and an in
jured flight attendant would question Davis.
However, they may have to reassemble in Texas
to speak with Davis.
Investigators take with them evidence indicat
ing that the wing flaps were completely or almost
completely retracted. But they also were told by
Flight Engineer Stephen Judd that the wing flaps
were extended in the proper position for takeoff.
During a briefing Sunday, Lee Dickinson said
more evidence had been collected on the position
of the wing flaps.
“We have further verification that the flaps
were retracted,” Dickinson said.
Pilots told newspapers that the fact the wing
flaps were retracted could be a sign the crew was
trying to fly the plane on one engine.
Dickinson however refused to speculate on re
ports that two engine’s failed.
“When someone says engine failure, there are
a whole host of things that might mean,” Dickin
son said.
