Stealth fighter crashes into homes
Fiery wreckage injures four in northeast Baltimore suburb
MIDDLE RIVER, Md. (AP) — An
F-l 17 stealth fighter that was per
forming at an air show crashed
into two houses shortly after take
off Sunday, setting both on fire and
causing four minor injuries on the
ground. The pilot ejected safely.
The plane went down about
3:30 p.m. after taking off during a
performance at the Chesapeake
Air Show at the Glen Martin State
Airport, said Baltimore County
Fire Capt. Steve Gisriel.
Gisriel said the plane, carrying
11,000 pounds of fuel, crashed
into two houses and burned two
cars at a condo-marina complex
on Chesapeake Bay in this suburb
northeast of Baltimore. He said a
man and three women at the com
plex suffered only minor injuries
and were not hospitalized. The pi
lot was also treated at the scene for
minor back and neck injuries.
Sharon Schuchardt was watch
ing the air show from a boat and
witnessed the crash.
“The plane was flying over and
the tail end just blew off,” she told
CNN. “At first we thought it was
part of the act. All of a sudden, the
plane just started going down.”
“It’s something nobody in their
lifetime would ever want to expe
rience,” she said. “It was horrible.
It was huge, a total explosion.”
Another witness, Kimberly
Chaapel, also noticed “part of the
wing fell off” before the plane
went down and the pilot ejected.
“He started rolling head over
tail and (the pilot) ejected proba
bly 500 feet before the ground,”
she said. “He was very, very lucky.”
Air Force spokesman Capt. By
ron James confirmed that the F-117
went down and that the pilot eject
ed, but had no other information.
Gisriel said the fire was under
control about an hour after the
crash and a three-block area of the
complex was being evacuated for
military officials to conduct their
investigation.
The boomerang-shaped F-l 17
Nighthawk, armed with laser-
guided bombs, was used in the
Gulf War against the most heavily
defended Iraqi targets because of
its ability to evade radar and radar-
guided missiles. According to an
Air Force fact sheet, each F-l 17
costs $45 million.
Stealth technology uses curved
or angular surfaces to reduce that
radar reflection — known as a
cross section.
When combined with radar
absorbing composite materials, a
plane with a 43-foot wingspan
displays the cross section of a
bumblebee.
First daughter adjusts to college life
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) —The first daughter is turn
ing into the first freshman, determined to have a nor
mal student life.
For the first time, Chelsea Clinton will be out of
the zone of privacy her parents have zealously
maintained around her at the White House. But she
shows every intention of keeping her courteous but
steadfast distance from the news media while at
tending Stanford University.
The 17-year-old who wants to become a doctor is not
granting interviews. The White House isn’t talking about
her plans. And neither is Stanford, citing its policy of safe
guarding the privacy of every student and its determi
nation to treat the president’s daughter like anyone else.
Even the student newspaper says it won’t cover
Chelsea as a celebrity after the first day of school when
she joins her 1,660 classmates on the private, sprawl
ing campus.
Stanford students are expected to take the whole
thing in stride.
“They’ll probably treat her like anyone else.... I don’t
think they will judge her based on the fact she’s the pres
ident’s daughter,” said sophomore Wayan Garvey.
After some initial curiosity—and flurry of media at
tention —Chelsea probably will be able to enjoy a typ
ical Stanford experience, he said.
“To the extent she can... with the Secret Service tail
ing her all the time,” Garvey added.
Chelsea’s new life starts Friday, the first day of ori
entation; classes start Sept. 24.
President Clinton and first lady Hillary Rodham
Clinton will accompany their only child to Stanford and
are expected to attend the official welcoming ceremo
ny and other events, including a parents’ lunch.
1 he Clinton’s also might help Chelsea move into her
dorm; Stanford requires that all freshmen live on cam
pus where room and board costs $7,557. That’s in ad
dition to the $21,300 tuition.
She won’t know who her assigned roommate is un
til she arrives.
Chelsea will be accompanied by Secret Service
agents. The Secret Service won’t discuss arrangements
at Stanford, but Newsweek reported
that a detail of youthful, casually at
tired agents will accompany Chelsea
on campus and have a room in her
dorm.
Instead of presidential limou
sines, some of the agents will have
bicycles to get around the sprawling,
tree-studded campus — called The
Farm—at the foot of coastal hills 30
miles south of San Francisco.

interview on October 23 for the following
positions:
Supervisors
Engineers
The resume deadline is September 16.
Stanford, one of the nation’s top universities, has had
its share of famous students. Chelsea won’t even be the
first child of a sitting president to attend; Allan Hoover,
son of Herbert Hoover — himself a Stanford alum —
graduated in 1929.
Instructors and fellow students generally don’t treat
celebrities like celebrities. In fact, they’re not even that
impressed. After all, one’s professor could be a Nobel
laureate, and gifted, motivated students are as com
mon as California poppies in spring.
“There are a lot of egos coming in. But once they get
there, they’re all part of the same team. Status is not im
portant,” said swimmer Summer Sanders, who won a
gold medal at the 1992 Olympics midway through her
communications studies at Stanford.
“You prove yourself with your personality to the stu
dent body,” said Sanders, now a sports commentator.
When Chelsea announced her college choice, re
jecting her parents’ alma maters of Georgetown and
Wellesley, Clinton said her daughter “wanted to branch
out and be her own person.”
Sanders thinks Chelsea — and other members of
the Stanford class of 2001 — should do just that. Her
advice: “Be yourself — let people like you for who you
really are.”
