News Briefs
Worker's death
due to safety belt
CORPUS CHRIST! (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.
