Pilot error may have led to 0SU crash
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Pilot error probably
caused the 2001 crash of a twin-engine airplane
that killed 10 members of the Oklahoma State
University basketball program, according to a
report to be released this week by the National
Transportation Safety Board.
The report, obtained Wednesday, said some of
the plane’s instruments stopped working after an
electrical malfunction, but the pilot could have
used backup instruments to safely land the plane.
The NTSB, which was to publicly release the
report Thursday, said pilot Denver Mills lost con
trol of the Beechcraft Super King Air 200 because
he failed to troubleshoot the electrical failure.
The plane was one of three carrying the bas
ketball team and staff home after a game when it
crashed Jan. 27, 2001, near Strasburg, Colo.
Besides Mills, also killed were: Pat Nojw,
director of basketball operations, players Dank!
Lawson and Nate Fleming, publicist Will
Hancock, trainer Brian Luinstra, manager Jared
Weiberg, play-by-play announcer Bill Teegins,
radio engineer Kendall Durfey and co-pilot Bjorn
Fahlstrom.
Mills’ daughter, Kathryn Wilson, said she
believes the electrical failure was more extensive
than the NTSB said.
“There is no way that my dad could have
landed the plane in the condition it was in,'
Wilson said.
Fire breaks out in Sharptons headquarters
NEW YORK (AP) — Fire
spread through the headquarters
of the Rev. A1 Sharpton’s
National Action Network on
Wednesday, gutting a reception
hall one day after Sharpton for
mally became a Democratic
presidential contender in 2004.
The fire was reported at
about 8:30 a.m. on the second
floor of the three-story building
in Harlem.
Fire officials said the recep
tion hall where Sharpton holds
weekly rallies and news confer
ences was gutted. The fire also
spread to the third floor, occu
pied by the Israeli Church of
UPK.
A 23-year-old man hanging
from a third-floor window was
pulled to safety by firefighters
and treated for smoke inhalation.
Investigators said the cause
of the blaze was under investiga
tion.
Sharpton toured the damaged
offices with a fire marshal after
arriving from Washington
Wednesday afternoon. He later
declared that the blaze would
“in no way abate in any shape or
form” his run for president.
He did not speculate on the
cause of the blaze or say when
or where the National Action
Network would rebuild.
“These are the people that
built the House of Justice, and
we will build it again,” Sharpton
said, pointing to a crowd outside
that had been shouting “No jus
tice, no peace!”
Officials said an office
where the group’s financial
records are kept was mostly
spared in the fire.
Sharpton spokeswoman
Rachel Noerdlinger said the fire
was discovered by a National
Action Network office manager
who had unlocked the office
about 8 a.m., then heard a pop
ping noise and smelled smoke.
Fire marshals said they were
interviewing the office manager.
They also were interviewing the
man who was rescued and a cook
from the West Indian restaurant
that occupies the first floor.
On Monday, Martin Luther
King Jr. Day, Mayor Michael
Bloomberg and Sen. Hillaij
Rodham Clinton joined Sharpton
at the offices for a forum com
memorating King.
Sharpton formally filed
papers the following day seek
ing the Democratic party’s
nomination for the 2004 presi
dential race.
