Jason Ragogna, a Dallas NTSB in vestigator, said it could take up to three days to complete their initial search of the site just north of the San Antonio Airport. He said they were looking at pilot error, mechanical failure and weath er conditions as possible reasons for the accident. Witnesses still were be ing interviewed as well. ‘‘They’re keeping an open mind about this,” airport spokesperson Lisa Burkhardt-Worley said. She said investigators were hav ing trouble identifying the man and woman killed in the crash because of the severity of their injuries.

Matagorda General Hospital hired Weitzel in February 1998 as medical director of the senior psychiatric care unit despite a history of disciplinary problems with medical boards in Utah, Texas and California. Hospital administrator Wick Baker said the hospital was aware he had surrendered his license to practice medicine in California fol lowing an investigation into his misconduct, and also that Weitzel had been sanctioned by the Texas State Board of Medical Examin ers, but it was unaware he was un der investigation in Utah. whether a Confederate flag be admitted into evidence discrimination lawsurt agair of Houston is expected Ices ic W< istthea s week, s emplo is a 1 Petr iite for e th ead HOUSTON (AP) — Authorities are investigating the 1998 death of a Bay City woman being treated by a psy chiatrist accused of the slayings of Rule expected on Confederate tattoo HOUSTON (AP) — A ruling on Two blacl ees sued th< pervisor.
