TEL AVI V, Israel (AP) A court
convicted five Israelis of causing
death and injury by negligence in a
footbridge collapse that killed four
Australian athletes and injured
scores of others during the opening
ceremony of the 1997 Maccabiah
Games.
Micha Bar-1 Ian, the engineer who
constructed the bridge, held his head in
his hands as Tel Aviv Magistrate Edna
Beckenstein read the decision of the
three-judge panel.
The defendants face up to four years
in prison.
In addition to Bar-Ilan, the defen
dants included contractors Baruch
Karagula and Yehoshua Ben-Ezra;
Adam Mishorin, director of the Irgunit
company that stages public events; and
Yoram Eyal, the chairman of the Mac
cabiah organizing committee.
The bridge collapsed on July 14,
1997. during the opening of the Mac-
cabiah Games, a sporting event for Jew
ish athletes from around the world.
Maccabiah organizers had built a
temporary footbridge across the
Yarkon River into the Ramat Gan sta
dium near Tel Aviv. When the first ath
letes walked across the bridge, it buck
led and about 100 people plunged into
the polluted river.
Two athletes, Greg Small and Yetty
Bennett, drowned. Two others, Eliza
beth Sawicki and Warren Zincs, died lat
er from what were believed to be the ef
fects of swallowing polluted river water.
Sixty-four people were injured, in
