Amtrak Wreck
Tugboat pilot radioed
about runaway barge
The Associated Press
SARALAND, Ala. — An investigation into Amtrak's deadliest
wreck focused Thursday on a tugboat operator who radioed to au
thorities that he was having a problem with a runaway barge.
The barge had struck a railroad trestle over the foggy backwaters
of a bayou just before the train carrying more than 200 people
plunged off it and exploded, killing at least 44, early Wednesday.
"The fact is, he was lost," Coast Guard Capt. Michael Perkins said
of the pilot of the tugboat MV Mauvilla. "While he was trying to gath
er up his barges, the train came along and the accident occurred."
A giant crane stabilized the Sunset Limited coaches before divers
resumed their search for bodies Thursday.
The body of a 5-year-old girl was found floating about 100 feet
from the submerged car of the Los Angeles to Miami train, said
one of the divers, Mark Lampkin of Orange Grove, Miss. At least
twopeople were missing.
The tugboat pilot, Andrew Stabler, has been questioned by the FBI
and his vessel impounded. The barges were moored a quarter mile
from the crash site 10 miles north of Mobile.
Perkins said that Stabler radioed in at 3:06 a.m. Wednesday — 12
minutes before the train crash — that he had struck a bridge, but mis
takenly thought he had hit a span on the Mobile River. Instead, he
was on Bayou Canot, one of several bayous, streams and creeks that
feed into the river at its delta.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Federico Pena told "CBS Morning
News" that Perkins radioed only that a barge had come loose. "Un
fortunately, he did not indicate it had hit the support," Pena said.
The train's speed wasn't known; the speed limit on the bridge was
70 mph. It had just left the Mobile station.
Results of mandatory drug and alcohol tests given Stabler and
three crewman were unavailable, the Coast Guard said.
The barges were lashed two aside and filled with coal, coke and
wood chips. Some apparently broke loose upon impact, and Stabler
was trying to corral them in the fog.
"It is clear the barge did hit the bridge," Pena said.
Stabler refused to answer questions without consulting his lawyer.
"I'd like to tell my side. People get things and turn them around," Sta
bler told The Associated Press.
Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co., owner of the tugboat, said in a
statement the vessel was pushing barges north in the fog-shroud-
ed Mobile River. The bayou the train crashed into feeds into the
river. The bayou isn't navigable, although barges sometimes tie
up there temporarily.
"The vessel found itself not in the river channel but in the Bayou
Canot/' said Andrew Harris, general manager for terminals for War
rior & Gulf. "Details are still unclear, but the vessel was trying to re
turn to the river as the Amtrak train approached the bridge where
the accident occurred."
Parliament radifies
historic Mideast treat)
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Prime Minis
ter Yitzhak Rabin declared he
won "freedom of action" to pur
sue Mideast peace after parlia
ment ratified the historic Israel-
PLO accord on Thursday.
Rabin said the 61-50 vote al
lowed the government to imple
ment the agreement on Palestin
ian self-rule in the occupied lands
and continue attempts to reach
peace with Israel's Arab neigh
bors.
The margin was less substan
tial than Rabin had hoped for, but
it put a convincing end to calls for
early elections or a national refer
endum that would have slowed
down the peace momentum.
"Now we shall build a new
Middle East," Foreign Minister
Shimon Peres said after the vote.
PLO spokesman Yasser Abed-
Rabbo praised the result, telling
Israel army radio from Tunis it
was a "positive step" and that
support for the treaty was larger
in the street than in parliament.
Rabin had staked the credibili
ty of the peace initiative as well as
the future of his government on
winning the vote, saying it would
constitute a formal vote of confi
dence.
Eight legislators abstained
from the vote, and one was absent
in the 120-seat Knesset, or parlia
ment. The result clearly embar
rassed Likud, which failed to en
force party discipline.
One of the three Likud mem
bers who abstained, Meir Shitreet,
said his party's opposition to a
peace deal backed by the majority
of Israelis was "political suicide."
He said on Israeli radio that seven
Likud members backed the agree
ment privately.
"There is no need for new elec
tions. The parliament very clearly
approved the agreement,Hi
margin is very clear/' Rabinj
spokesman Oded Ben-Ami toll
The Associated Press.
Rabin said he will now focus
on the painstaking taskofestab
lishing Palestinian autonomy®
the occupied Gaza Strip and lit
West Bank town of Jericho,and
on pursuing peace negotiation:
with Jordan, Lebanon and Syria,
"This gives the governmen!
freedom of action to implement
what it brought to the Knesset,"
he said on Israel radio.
Ben-Ami voiced hope forth
resumption of Middle East peace
talks in Washington next montli
and for detailed negotiations on
what promised to be "a long and
bumpy road."
Peres, speaking later on Israel
television, said Israel and the PLO
hoped to formalize their current
unofficial contacts within twotu
three weeks, with the PLO nam
ing several delegates for face-lo-
face talks.
As part of the accord, Israel
will free 11,000 Palestinian de
tainees, said Palestinian leadei
Hanan Ashrawi.
Confirming a report in the
Jerusalem Report magazine,
Ashrawai said the release could
not come immediately. Prisonser
vices spokesman Dubi Ben-Ami
denied the plan but acknowl
edged that the detainees' fate was
still unclear.
Another 2,000 maximum secu
rity detainees will be moved from
the occupied territories to Israel,
the magazine said.
Ashrawi also said Jan. 1 "could
be a target date" for PLO chief
Yasser Arafat's arrival in the ar
eas of future autonomy.
Gonen Segev of the right-wing
Tsomet Party said the hard-liners
will now start "an information
campaign" to force changes in the
agreement.
2000 Summer Olympic Games to be in Sydney
The Associated Press
MONTE CARLO, Monaco — Stability and
reliability won out over political risk and un
certainty Thursday as Sydney narrowly edged
out Beijing for the right to host the 2000 Sum
mer Olympic Games.
In a secret ballot by the International
Olympic Committee, Sydney beat Beijing on
the final round by just two votes — 45-43.
Dropping out in the previous rounds were
Istanbul, Turkey; Berlin; and Manchester, Eng
land.
The decision to return the Games to Aus
tralia for the first time since the 1956 Mel
bourne Olympics was announced live to a
worldwide television audience by IOC presi
dent Juan Antonio Samaranch.
In choosing Sydney over Beijing, the IOC
went for the safer candidate, a glamorous, cos-
mopolitan city with superior sports facilities
and technology.
"We know this is the perfect decision," said
IOC director general Francois Carrard. "The
Olympic movement is in good hands."
Beijing had offered the powerful symbolic
impact of holding the Games of the new mil
lennium in a nation of 1.2 billion people as it
opens up to the rest of the world.
Awarding the Games to China would have
prompted further outcry from human rights
critics, including members of the U.S. Congress.
There may also have been concern over the
uncertain political future in China, ruled hr
88-year-old Deng Xiaoping.
"If there was a difference in the vote it wa
clearly between the risk-takers and the not
risk-takers," said Dick Pound, a powerful ei
ecutive board member from Canada who had
lobbied for Beijing.
Some members felt it was too soon for Chi
na to get the Games, with 2004 a more realistit
target.
"Of course we are disappointed, but they
(the Australians) conducted themselves ina
sportsmanlike way, and we are happy for
them," said Wei Jizhong, secretary-general of
the Chinese Olympic Committee.
