Airplane crashes into
Manila Bay after takeofi
MANILA, Philippines (AP)
— Investigators focused on pos
sible engine failure alter a twin-
engine commuter airplane car
rying 34 people, including
tourists from Australia and
Britain, crashed into Manila Bay
minutes after takeoff early
Monday.
At least 14 people aboard
were killed and 16 survived
after being plucked from the
water, some by fishing boats,
said Alvin Manual Yater, assis
tant vice president of Laoag
International Airlines.
Hopes of finding more sur
vivors diminished late Monday,
with four people still missing.
The 44-seat Fokker 27 broke
apart and sank in about 50 feet
of water. Divers were hampered
by mud churned up by the
wreckage, part of which was
raised using a floating crane.
At least six Australians were
on board, and the Australian
Embassy said it had been able to
confirm only one survivor. Steve
Thompson, 25, of Sydney.
Several of the Australians
remained unaccounted for.
Three British citizens
were on board.
Thompson said he

engine just before the pilot came
on the intercom to tell passen

Amateur video of the stricken
plane showed the right propeller

“It means maybe the engine

but unfortunately he was flying
so low, about 300 feet, so he
decided to ditch,” said Adelberto
Yap, chief of air transportation
for the Philippines.
He said both the pilot and co
pilot survived, so the investiga
tion should go quickly. Recovery
of the plane’s so-called “black
box” flight recorders was
expected Tuesday.
Thompson said he arrived in
the Philippines on Sunday and
was flying with five Australian
friends to the northern city of
Laoag for a surfing vacation in
nearby Badoc.
“The plane took off. It flew
for three minutes, and then the
engine kind of got quiet,” said
Thompson, who had bandages
on his toes and left arm, during
an interview at the navy’s bay-
side headquarters.
“Then I noticed some smoke
coming out of the left engine,
and then it banked. Then we
ended up down in the water,”
Thompson said.
Saying he didn’t know' w'hat
happened to his friends, he
began weeping as he spoke with
his mother by telephone.
Yater said Flight 585 took off
from Manila's domestic airport
at 6:06 a.m. for a regularly
scheduled hour-long flight to
Laoag, lost contact with the con
trol tower three minutes later
and crashed.
He initially said there had
been no distress call, but later
corrected that, saying the pilots
had been aiming for a stretch of
reclaimed land before going
down in the water.

MOSSY GROVE. Tenn. (AP) — Searchers
and dazed survivors went from one shattered
home to another Monday, picking through splin
tered lumber and torn sheet metal for any sign of
the missing, after twisters and thunderstorms
killed at least 35 people in five states.
More than 70 reported tornadoes cut a path of
destruction from Louisiana to Pennsylvania over
the weekend and into Monday. Sixteen deaths
were reported in Tennessee, 12 in Alabama, five in
Ohio and one each in Mississippi and
Pennsylvania. More than 200 people were injured.
“Yesterday, we had a nice brick house and four
vehicles. Today, we don’t own a toothbrush,” said
Susan Henry of Mossy
Grove, where seven people
were killed and at least 40
were still unaccounted for
as of midafternoon.
■The tiny community 40
miles west of Knoxville was
nearly wiped off the map,
with about a dozen of the 20

Elementary
— Susan Henry
storm survivor
Henry, her husband and two children survived
after taking shelter in the basement of a neighbor’s
home that collapsed around them.
“It was just deafening it was so loud,” said 17-
year-old Tabatha Henry. “You could hear the
wood pop in the house, and that was it. Then all
you could hear was the screaming and praying.”
Daylight brought a picture of destruction. In
Mossy Grove, clothes fluttered from tree limbs.
Power lines dangled from poles. Cars lay crum
pled after being tossed like toys. About the only
sound was the bleating of a battery-operated
smoke alarm buried deep in the rubble.
Searchers believed that most of the missing in
and around Mossy Grove were OK and had sim
ply been unable to get in touch with family mem
bers, said Steven Hamby, Morgan County director
of emergency medical services. The storm
knocked out telephone service and blocked roads.
No bodies had been found since early Monday,
but Hamby said digging out could take weeks.
