THE BATTALION Friday, April 19, 2002
Small plane hits
Milan building
Police see no terrorist link
MILAN, Italy (AP) — A
small plane, in flames and send
ing a distress signal, smashed
into the tallest skyscraper in
Italy’s financial capital
Thursday, killing at least three
people and injuring 60. The
crash initially raised fears of a
Sept. 1 1 -type terror attack, but
the Italian government said it
was probably an accident.
The aircraft punched through
the 25th floor of the slim Pirelli
building, gutting two floors and
starting a fire that sent smoke
pouring out into the clear blue
sky over downtown Milan.
Emergency workers helped
bloodied men in business suits
while firefighters worked to put
out the blaze.
“I heard something like the
engine of a plane dying out, and
then I heard a terrible explosion,”
said Raffaele Taccogna, who was
tending bar at the nearby Atlantic
Hotel. “I certainly thought of the
September attacks in the United
States,” he said. “It really looked
like the same thing.”
The pilot — who was on a
20-minute flight from Locarno,
Switzerland, to Milan — issued
a distress signal and reported
problems with the plane’s land
ing gear moments before plow
ing into the 30-story building at
5:50 p.m., Milan police officer
Celerissimo De Simone said.
The pilot reported “a little
problem with the landing gear,”
and the control tower instructed
him to move to the west of the

airport until it was fixed, a state

It said that the pilot did not issue
a distress signal as officials had
previously reported. The control
tower contacted the pilot again
after seeing he was drifting to
the north, in the wrong direction.
The pilot said he was fixing
the problem, and the tower
instructed him to move back into
position to land. But the pilot
again did not get into the right
position, it said. The control
tower then lost contact.
One witness, Fabio Sunik,
said the plane was on fire before
it crashed. The plane did not try
to change course, “but just went
straight in,” said Sunik, a sports
journalist. “Then I saw rubble
falling from the building.”

In Washington, a senior Bush

problem not related to terrorism
caused the crash.
Smokers likely to
have baby girls
LONDON (AP) — Couples
are more likely to have a girl
than a boy if either of the part
ners smoked heavily while they
were trying to conceive, new
research suggests.
Some scientists consider the
ratio of male to female births to
be an indicator of a population’s
health, because male sperm and
embryos are more fragile than
their female counterparts.
The study published this
week in The Lancet medical
journal is the first to propose
that smoking may play a role.
Normally, boys have a
slight edge over girls, with
almost 52 percent of all babies
born worldwide being male.
The balance tends to even out
later in life because females are
better at survival.
However, the comparative
number of males has been
declining in several industrial
ized countries over the past
few decades and researchers
suspect toxic substances may
be partly to blame.
Dr. Henrik Moller, who has
conducted extensive research on
sex ratios but was not connected
with the latest study, said the
findings “fit with what is already
known about certain exposures,
certainly in the male.”
The sex ratio is the propor
tion of one sex to the other in a
given population and is
expressed as the number of
males for every 100 females.
The sex ratio at birth in most
countries is between 104 and
106 males to 100 females. It
fluctuates within a narrow range
from time to time in some areas
but the general trend of the last
20 years has been downward.
“The decline is absolutely
minuscule, but it’s there. It’s
genuine,” said William James, a
researcher at University College
in London.
