TAMU Chapter of the American Meteorological Society Beaches Continued from Page 1 The Center for Marine Conservation reported last week that some of the more interesting debris found on Texas coastlines included two toilet bowls, a sofa bed, refrigerator, novelty vampire teeth, a pregnancy test and lawn chairs. “These are examples of the more blatant litter found on our beaches,” Long said. “What some people don’t understand is that when they throw garbage on the street or dump their motor oil in their yard in Amarillo, it finds its way to the Gulf of Mexico where it threatens the natural balance of the area.” Other forms of litter found along the beaches include cigarette butts, glass, light bulbs, cans, sy ringes, balloons, cups, straws and condoms. Long said the glass, plastic and aluminum found during the cleanup are sent to be recycled. “We found a very small market for the plastic we recovered, so Garry (Mauro) wrote legislation as the Omnibus Recycling Bill that increased the market,” Long said. “Now we turn the plastic we find into park benches and picnic tables for beach areas. “The gulf is special, and we should do every thing we can to take care of the ecology and scenic beauty of the region.” For more information about the cleanup, con tact the Texas General Land Office at 1-800-85- BEACH. Crash Continued from Page 1 all, and what effect it will have, we’d have to look into much more,” he said. “But that’s really speculative at this point.” A cautionary note also was sounded by John Nance, an air safety analyst in Seattle and 20- year commercial airline pilot. “Anyone in the industry or out of the industry ... who jumps to a conclusion or even a preliminary conclusion based on early evi dence is going to be embarrassed later,” Nance said. “I’ve been there.” Nance said the possibility of a problem with the right engine’s thrust reverser didn’t make sense, because witnesses said the plane dipped left while a problem with the right thrust reverser would cause the plane to dip right. Boeing spokesman Steve Thieme said no problems ever have been reported with thrust reversers on Boeing 737s. “It’s still too early to say what’s happened here,” he said. “We’ll assist the NTSB in any way we can to help determine the cause of this crash.” Thrust-reverser systems on Boeing 737s, 747s, 757s and 767s have been a concern since the May 1991 crash of a 767 in Thai land that killed 223 people. The plane, operated by Lauda Air of Austria, went out of control after its left-side thrust reverser acti vated. A two-year investigation failed to determine why that en gine reversed. Boeing began in stalling new locks on engines for 757s and 767s in 1992 on a rec ommendation from the Federal Aviation Administration. Pilots had various theories about why the USAir jet crashed, but agreed that no pilot could avoid a crash if a reverser de ployed in flight. “The thrust reverser could flip the plane over in a heartbeat,” said a veteran pilot from Ameri can Airlines who spoke on the con dition of anonymity. “At that point, you’re not even dealing with an airplane. You’re dealing with something falling out the sky.” Vogt also discounted theories the USAir plane went down be cause of a breakdown in its rud der-control system. The jet’s rud der was turned 4 to 8 degrees to the right; investigators were try ing to determine if that turn oc curred before or after the crash. sat ng the 1 Hers to d< Halizes ca; ■ The surv bJ the Hoi Houp, also Hpondents a pmited nur Bother 36 ■d 12 perci ■ “The resi ■ters of Te ■ participati ■portant is: Hselice.
