COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
(AP) — Workers dug with heavy
equipment and by hand Monday to
extricate pieces of a commercial jet
liner that plunged nose-first into the
ground and exploded, killing all 25
people on board.
Flight 585, with 20 passengers
and a crew of five, crashed for un
known reasons Sunday on approach
to the Colorado Springs Municipal
Airport.
It nose-dived in the center of a
| community park, narrowly missing a
nearby apartment complex and
houses.
Investigators found the cockpit
voice recorder and the flight data re
corder and sent them to Washington
for analysis, said Brent N. Bahler, a
National Transportation Safety
Board spokesman.
Workers used their hands and
heavy equipment, including a crane
and a fire truck, to recover parts of
the twin-engine Boeing 737-200 and
remains of the victims.
“We’re making slow but steady
progress in the initial stage of the in
vestigation,” said John Lauber, an
NTSB investigator. “We’re working
in the impact crater. It is necessary
to proceed literally by hand.”
Investigators dug 6 feet and re
covered parts of both engines by
midday Monday, Lauber said. He
said the parts would help investiga
tors determine if the engines were
running at the time of impact.
Air traffic controllers warned the
pilot of strong wind gusts just before
the plane crashed. The National
Weather Service reported gusts of
32 mph.
Such gusts can cause an effect
known as wind shear, which can re
duce a plane’s air speed and make it
impossible to maintain flight.
Lauber refused to speculate on
whether wind shear caused the acci
dent. Investigators are not focusing
on one cause, he said.
“We have a big puzzle on our
hands,” Lauber said.
A list of passengers and crew was
released Monday. The pilot was not
identified, pending notification of
relatives. Three members of the U.S.
Olympic organization, two sports sci-
entists and a cycling coach, were
among those on board.
The airline flew family members
of the victims to Colorado Springs,
United spokesman Joe Hopkins
said. Most of the victims lived in Col
orado Springs.
The plane, en route from Denver,
was on final approach to the airport
when it banked sharply and veered
into the ground, witnesses said.
Witness Bill Ferguson likened the
plane’s descent to “a dive-bombing,
mission.”

celebrate
allied POW
liberations
Associated Press
The horrifying wartime image
American airmen held captive, their
faces swollen and voices halting, was
countered by celebration Monday
after Iraq released the first allied
prisoners of war.
“It’s been rough, not knowing
whether he’s dead or alive,” Jeanette
Williams of Bessemer, Ala., said af
ter her brother. Army Spc. David
Lockett, and five other American
prisoners of war were freed in Bagh
dad.
“We are all just waiting to give
him a hug,” she said.
“There she is,” Lee Rathbun said
after spotting his daughter, Army
Spc. Melissa Rathbun-Nealy, on tele
vision. “She looks good. ... My God,
there she is.”
Lockett, 23, of Fort Bliss, and
Rathbun-Nealy, the only woman
taken prisoner, were captured while
delivering supplies to front-line mili
tary units in Saudi Arabia during the
battle of Khafji.
“We’re going to have one heck of
a 21st birthday party for her when
she’s home,” Rathbun-Nealy'
mother, Joan, said from Newaygo,
Mich.
Also freed were Air Force Maj
Thomas E. Griffith, 34, of Seymour
Johnson Air Force Base in Gold
sboro, N.C.; Navy Lt. Lawrence
Randolph Slade, 26; Navy Lt. Rob
ert Wetzel, 30; and Navy Lt. Jeffrey
Zaun, 28, all based at the Oceana
Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach,
Va.
Three Britons and one Italian
POW also were released. Angelo
Gnaedinger, Red Cross delegate
general for the Middle East and
North Africa, said all 10 soldiers
were in good health after a checkup
by Red Cross doctors.
They were given Swiss chocolates
Pepsi Cola and cheeseburgers before
heading toward the Jordanian bor
der in three cars, escorted by three
Iraqi army vehicles. The group ar
rived in Amman late Monday.
“I was awake all night last night,”
said Griffith’s wife, Liz. “I was very,
very nervous, and I found it difficult
to sleep, hoping my husband would
be among those 10 but not thinking
he would be.”
