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.”

tact the Texas General Land Office at 1-800-85-

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.
