No survivors reported in Airswissc
137 Americans among229passengers believed killed when jet went down ink,£k
NEW YORK (AP) — Minute by agonizing ■ ■ — ,
Crash close-up
minute, the scene played itself out as the un
thinkable happened again: A jetliner carrying
more than 200 people crashed after taking off
from Kennedy International Airport.
While rescuers searched the cold waters off
Nova Scotia through the night for survivors of
Geneva-bound Swissair Flight 111, friends and
family began arriving at the airport in early
morning blackness to begin a desperate vigil,
hoping against hope to hear that their loved
ones were alive.
Swissair said there were no survivors.
The jetliner with 229 people aboard crashed
off the coast of the southeastern Canadian
province late Wednesday, about an hour into
the flight. The pilot had reported smoke in the
cockpit and attempted an emergency landing at
Halifax International Airport.
Rabbi Edgar Gluck, a Port Authority police
chaplain, said six or seven families gathered at
an airport hotel.
“Right now they’re still in denial because that’s
the normal reaction,” he said. He described them
as in subdued shock, trying to make sense of
what happened. Michelle Auster, a spokesperson
for the Red Cross, similarly described the fami
lies: “They’re in a state of shock.”
The rabbi said he counseled relatives to
“hold themselves together.”
When they first arrived at the airport early
this morning, friends and relatives of those on
board watched news of the crash trickle in on
televisions Delta Air Lines set up for them in its
first-class lounge. Delta, which sold some tick
ets on the flight under an agreement with Swis
sair, also sent crisis counselors.
“There appears to be a tragedy unfolding off
the coast of Nova Scotia,” Manuel Sager, deputy
consul general for the Swiss Consulate in New
York, said as he arrived at the airport today.

Mayor Rudolph Giuliani told reporters that
he met with three people who lost loved ones
in the crash, including a friend of his whose

“He’s very distraught, obviously," Giuliani

Northwest ordered
to resume 17 flights
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — As two
commuter carriers for Northwest Air
lines were ordered to resume flights
to 17 isolated communities, the air
line and its striking pilots agreed to
meet for “exploratory” talks.
The news came Wednesday as
Northwest laid off more than half
its work force — 27,500 employees
— and canceled all domestic flights
through Labor Day and inbound
flights from Europe and Asia
through Tliesday.
“This is a sad day for Northwest
Airlines,” said Dewayne Tlicker,
Northwest vice president for hu
man resources.
Those laid off included flight
attendants, mechanics, customer
service employees and other
ground workers.
Because of the layoffs, it will
take the airline eight to 10 days to
resume a full flight schedule when
the strike ends, spokesman Jon
Austin said. Thursday was the sixth
day of the strike.
Both sides have agreed to meet
for “exploratory” talks in Chicago
on Saturday at the request of fed
eral mediators. The National Medi
ation Board was careful not to de
scribe the talks as negotiations.
Northwest has about 50,000 em
ployees, including the 6,100 pilots
who walked out Friday night. The
two sides are separated on issues of
compensation and job security.
North Dakota’s congressional
delegation has asked President Clin
ton to halt the strike by ordering a
60-day cooling-off period. North
Dakota’s Republican governor, Ed
Schafer, has made three separate ap
peals to Clinton to intervene, saying
business deals were being damp
ened by the strike. Today, Minneso
ta Gov. Arne Carlson, also a Repub
lican, asked Clinton to intervene.
The White House has said Clin
ton is concerned about the eco
nomic impact of the strike on parts
of the country but hopes, the dis
pute will be settled without federal
intervention.
Rep. Jim Oberstar said he spoke
with White House officials today
who remained firm in opposition to
intervention. Oberstar, the senior
Democrat on the House Trans
portation Committee, said the sides

in the strike could resolve their dif
ferences in one day once they set
aside their animosity.
To the airline, Oberstar said:
“Get serious about negotiating.
No one is going to come in and
rescue you.”
Northwest is the nation’s sixth-
largest airline in terms of passen
gers carried annually and the
fourth-largest in revenue. It carries
nearly 150,000 passengers a day
and 2.9 million pounds of cargo on
1,700 flights in North America, Eu
rope, Asia and India.

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla.
(AP) — Hurricane Earl capsized
fishing boats, spun off deadly tor
nados and dumped nearly 2 feet of
rain on the Florida Panhandle be
fore weakening Thursday over
Georgia. At least one person was
killed and three were missing.
The hurricane came ashore near
this Gulf Coast community around
2 a.m. with 80 mph winds but was
downgraded to a tropical storm at
midday, its winds dropping below
50 mph.
Along the Gulf Coast, the hurri
cane swamped homes with its 11-
foot storm surge, flattened trees
and utility poles, lifted roofs off and
knocked out power to tens of thou
sands of people in Florida and Al
abama. Panama City got 23 inches
of rain.
“A couple of times I was pretty
scared,” said Ttacey Packard, a TV
meteorologist from Jacksonville. “It
was intense.”
Packard rode out the storm with
about 150 people on Florida’s St.
George Island who ignored an
evacuation order and were cut off
Wednesday night when water
washed over the only bridge to the
mainland. The bridge reopened
around noon Thursday.
A tornado ahead of the storm
killed one person and left another
missing on St. Helena Island in
South Carolina. The storm also
spun off twisters in Florida, Geor
gia and North Carolina.
On the water, two fishing boats,
the Can-Too and the Me-Too,
flipped three miles off Panama City,
tossing all six fishermen into 16-
foot seas. Two of the men were
found clinging to an overturned
boat, one was rescued hanging
onto debris and a fourth was found
in a life raft.
The two other men were listed
by the Coast Guard as missing, but
a body that washed ashore in Pana
ma City Beach was believed to be
that of one of them.
