(AP) - A broken safety belt is being blamed for the death of a worker who fell from a television tower, police say. Mike Sanchez, 28, of San An tonio was killed instantly Mon day morning when he fell 70 feet from the tower at independent television station KDF, said po lice Sgt. J.K. Granger. Sanchez was changing a light bulb on a sign on the TV tower when he fell. Granger said. The self-employed worker was subcontractedf by Corpus Signs and Lighting to work on the KDF sign. An autopsy was being conducted by the Nueces County medical examiner's of fice, officials said. Officials alarmed at witness’ death BROWNSVILLE (AP) - Fed eral officials say they're alarmed by the shooting deaths last week of witnesses who had testified against hitmen in a Mexican drug gang. Both Norberto Hernandez Paz, 25, and Armando Barrera, 28, had declined offers to join the federal witness protection program, law enforcement sources told The Brownsville Herald. Hernandez was found dead Friday evening by the Rio Grande. Barrera’s body was dis covered Thursday morning in a residential area southeast of Brownsville. Both men had testified in the murder trials of two hitmen in the Juan Garcia Abrego drug traffickingring. "Their deaths deeply concern us," said FBI agent Wayne Smith. "We have no reason to believe any other witnesses are being sought. However, we have taken steps to inform other wit nesses of what has happened." Garcia Abrego, 47, whose op- erations are based across the border from Brownsville in Matarnoros, Mexico, has been in dicted in the United States on 131 counts of drug trafficking and money laundering. He also is wanted m Mexico. Astronauts find precious data CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -~ Discovery's astronauts captured a small shiny satellite loaded with precious solar data Tuesday, two days after setting it free to study the sun's flaming corona. The shuttle zDomed to within 35 feet of the Spartan satellite as the two spacecraft sped over the South Pacific. Astronaut Ellen Ochoa grabbed the satellite with the ship's robot arm and gently nudged the craft into its cradle in the cargo bay. "Great work, Ellen," said Mission Control's Kevin Chilton, "There are a lot of smiles in the room down here. Congratula tions on a fantastic rendezvous and grapple." The $6 million satellite ~~ about the size of a large air con ditioner and weighing 2,800 B ounds — was released from 'iscovery on Sunday. Scientists in charge of Spartan's two tele scopes wanted an orbital plat form free of shuttle contamina tion and bumps for viewing the sun's corona and solar wind. All those readings would have been lost if the astronauts had not retrieved Spartan. Jurors screened for bus crash trial EDINBURG (AP) - The judge and attorneys began screening jurors Tuesday for the criminal trial of the trucker blamed for an accident that sent a school bus plunging into a roadside pit, killing 21 children. Ruben Perez, 28, who is charged with 21 counts of invol untary manslaughter, sat impas sively as 390th District Judge Fi~ dencio M. Guerra Jr. asked the pool of 200 jury candidates whether they had seen newspa pers or TV accounts of the Sep tember 1989 accident. Virtually all raised their hands, Perez is accused of running a stop sign and colliding with the Mission Independent School District bus, which careened into a flooded caliche pit in Alton, Nineteen students drowned and two others died later at hospi tals. Sixty students were injured, Two carnival workers killed DALLAS (AP) - Two carni val workers were killed Tuesday afternoon when a cable snapped while they were trying to erect a Ferris wheel, officials said. Another worker was taken to Baylor Medical Center with a se rious foot injury, said Carolyn Garcia, Dallas Fire Department spokeswoman. "It appears that the cable broke as they were setting the Ferris wheel up," Garcia said. Women, children flee from Bosnia SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herze govina (AP) — Hundreds of women and children jammed trucks Tuesday to flee the mis ery of Srebrenica, where Serb shelling killed at least 56 people a day earlier. Of the 650 people who ar rived in government-held Tuzla hours later, 47 were hospitalized with various wounds, officials of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees reported. Robert Johansson, a Swede who drove one of the trucks, said the convoy was stoned by bystanders when it passed Serb- held Zvornik. The refugees were protected by tarpaulin covering on the trucks, he said. Sarajevo radio reported late Tuesday that the eastern and northern frontlines in the Sre brenica area were being heavily shelled with mortars and multi ple rocket launchers. Those who perished Monday in Srebrenica included 15 chil dren.
