Page12A The Battalion Tuesday, March 31 Canada failed to send report on plane crash, officials say WASHINGTON (AP) - Canadian officials said Monday they never sent their U.S. coun terparts a preliminary report into a 1989 crash under conditions similar to those of the recent US- Air crash at New York's La Guardia Airport. Last week, the head of the Canadian inquiry implied that the March 22 crash at La Guardia might have been avoided had U.S. officials heeded his panel's report, which U.S. officials said they never received. “As reported in our telephone conversation of this morning, no copies of our interim report of December 1990 were forwarded by the commission to any agency of the United States govern ment/' according to a memo ob tained by The Associated Press. It was signed by Gordon A. Haugh, a spokesman for the Canadian inquiry panel, and ad dressed to Frank McCabe, special assistant to the director of the Federal Aviation Administration. “I realize the embarrassment that my remarks could cause and apologize for this unintentional misinformation/' Haugh wrote. Steady snow was falling when USAir Flight 405 crashed into Flushing Bay upon takeoff, killing 27 people and injuring 24. The plane, a Dutch-made Fokker 28, had been de-iced twice before takeoff with an alco hol-based solution called Type 1. The second de-icing occurred 30 minutes before takeoff. Alberta provincial JudgeVj. gil Moshansky said Monfe there was enough informationc- de-icing in his November 1990^ terim report to have prevent f | the La Guardia crash, if indetj icing of the wings was the cause Moshansky led the Coniniis sion of Inquiry into the crasln an Air Ontario Fokker 28 tin killed 24 people on March 1| 1989, at Dry den, northwester Ontario.
