From Associated Press reports
GRAPEVINE, Texas A cockpit
tape recording recovered from a
shattered Boeing 727 showed the
pilots talked about an engine problem
right after takeoff, seconds before the
jetliner crashed in flames, killing 13
people, a federal spokesman said
Thursday.
Investigators on the scene of the
crash at Dallas-Fort Worth Interna
tional Airport scrutinized a rear
engine of the plane and crawled
through its charred hulk searching for
more clues on why Flight 1141
crashed Wednesday. Nearly 100
people survived.
The recording of the cockpit
conversations from one of the "black
boxes" showed that the pilots dis

cussed engine trouble, said Lee
Dickinson, a member of the National
Transportation Safety Board
(NTSB).
"Shortly after takeoff there was a
sound, (apparently) warning a stall
condition may be approaching,"
Dickinson said. He said the sound
came from the shaking of the "stick,"
a device similar to the steering wheel
that automatically makes a sound
when a problem develops.
"This indicates the plane may be
approaching a point where it won't
be able to fly," he said. "Shortly after
that, there was some conversation
about an engine problem."
But he stressed that the warning
sound could have stemmed from
issues. Restoring Solidarity's legal
status was the main demand of the
strikers.
Workers at the Stalowa Wola steel
mill in southern Poland began leaving
the plant at 7 p.m. after receiving a
telephone appeal from Walesa and a
message from the Roman Catholic
episcopate, a strike committee
spokeswoman said.
At least 3,000 strikers were in the
Lenin shipyard, where Walesa works

He would not elaborate, except to
say, "In this case, we're talking about

"Every accident in its own way is

Michael Benson. "You have to start
from the beginning, put together a
mosaic and slowly discover what went
wrong."

News in Brief
The Libyan leader gave no time
table for eliminating what he
called the "classical army and the
traditional police." His meaning
also was unclear because he said
military service still would be
mandatory.
Gadhafi spoke Wednesday at a
graduation ceremony for the
cadets at Tripoli stadium. He has
made several calls in the past for
ending the military, but this was
the first time he publicly gave
details.
Gadhafi also said 1 million
Libyans have used their salaries to
pay for weapons. He said the arms
would be kept in barracks and
used by the civilians in case of
security threats. .
Bakker may 'return to TV .
FORT MILL, S.C PTL
founder Jim Bakker may be back
on television as soon as next week,
the ministry's bankruptcy trustee
said Thursday as lawyers worked
on details of Bakker's $ 165 million
plan to buy back PTL.
Trustee M.C. Benton said he
received offers of $120 million and
$114 million Thursday, the last
day he was taking bids for the
ministry's assets. Both were larger
than the previously announced
offer of $113 million from Can
adian real estate magnate Peter
Thomas, chairman of Samoth
Capital Corp.
A $3 million letter of credit that
should be ready in a day or so
will secure Bakker's deal, his
attorney Ryan Hovis said at a
news conference at the World
Outreach Center at Heritage USA,
headquarters for the PTL.
