Trip to romantic Venice soaks taxpayers
Amtrak train
jumps bridge
into bayou;
death toll at 43
The Associated Press
SARALAND, Ala. - Am-
trak's cross-country Sunset Lim
ited hurtled off a bridge into an
inky bayou early Wednesday,
plunging its sleeping passengers
into a nightmare of fire, water
and death.
Forty-three people were
killed, some of them trapped in
a submerged, silver passenger
car and others in a burned en
gine, and 10 were missing in the
deadliest wreck in Amtrak's 23-
year history, railroad spokesman
Howard Robertson said.
More than 150 people sur
vived, some to help other pas
sengers who clung to wreckage
from a collapsed section of the
bridge in a swamp populated by
alligators, snakes and bears.
The cause of the wreck wasn't
immediately known. One possi
bility officials were investigating
was that a barge may have hit
the bridge before the crash.
Brian Logan of Fife, Scotland,
was awakened when the train be
gan banking steeply to one side.
"It kind of threw a lot of people
off their seats. I figured the train
was going to tumble over. ... That
was accompanied by a screeching
sound followed by a pretty much
lot of screaming.”
All three engines and four of
the eight cars on the Los Ange-
les-to-Miami train went off the
bridge, which was about 7 feet
above the water. Two of the cars
were passenger cars, and one of
them was completely sub
merged in water about 16 feet
deep in Bayou Canot.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - When in
Venice, the duties of the men and
women assigned to protect a U.S.
defense secretary do not stop at
the water's edge.
Les Aspin's security detail
demonstrated as much by spend
ing more than $1,000 for "water
taxis" to patrol the famous
canals of the romantic Italian city
while Aspin and a female friend
vacationed there for five days
last May.
Aspin paid his own way, but
U.S. taxpayers picked up a $42,000
tab not only for the security
crew's exotic water transportation
but also the hotel and meal costs
for them and the rest of the Aspin
party, including staff members
and a physician.
Travel vouchers released by the
Defense Department on Tuesday
indicated that Aspin's security
agents billed the government as
much as $2,002 each for their
rooms at the Danieli, the posh ho
tel where Aspin and his friend
stayed five nights.
The voucher of John Khin, of
Aspin's personal security detail,
also reflected other costs: $1,706
for a "security control room" in
Venice for five days, $66 for con
trol room expenses ("maps and
porterage"), and $1,411 to rent
two cellular telephones there for
six days.
Khin billed $836 for the cost of
water taxis and barges used to
maintain security for Aspin in
Venice. Other water taxi fares
billed exceeded $200.

REAL FREEDOM!
Among the freedoms that you as a student will be exercising this year is the “right to choose”. You will be deciding what to study, how to spend your time, where to channel your
energies, with whom to associate, and what set of values you will follow in life. All of these choices will have consequences, for bad or good. So choose carefully!
As this school year begins, the Texas A&M University faculty listed below urge you to consider another type of freedom-one that we have found to be more precious than any
other. It is offered by Jesus Christ, who said:
If you abide by My word... you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you jree’ , (John 8:31-32). Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be fee indeed” (John 8:36).
We have found these promises are true and based on rational reasoning. If you would, like to know more about Christ and the freedom He gives, we would be happy to talk with
you. Have a great year at Texas A&M.
