2The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, March 24, 1992 At least 26 confirmed dead in US Air crash NEW YORK Rescuers on Mon day braved smoldering fire, rising tide and falling snow, but found only bodies some still strapped in the seats of a USAir jet that crashed into icy Flushing Bay, killing at least 26 people. As the grim collection wound down Monday at La Guardia Airport, it ap peared luck was all that separated the dead from the 24 injured survivors. One passenger was missing. "I was amazed so many people sur vived," said fire Capt. John Kurtz, who arrived shortly after the crash. "There I I 1 Mir jr I f t l usmwii. $3 i RIM $M Gear up with the outdoor experts!

Rescue divers had little to show for their effort save two "black box" flight recorders aboard the Cleveland-bound plane. National Transportation Safety Council investigators said they did not know what caused the crash. According to witnesses, the jet had just begun to lift off the runway Sunday night when it slammed back to the ground, veered sharply to the left and crashed over an embankment. The nose, wing and engine snapped off, and the rest of the plane exploded and skidded into the water.

"I didn't know there was a fire until I got on the deck," he said. Dominick still smelledof smoke from the early morning fire. He had gone to a friend's Woodbridge apartment after the fire, but low water-pressure levels in the complex prevented him from taking a shower, he said.

"I thought I'd lost absolutely every thing but I didn't," she said. "I lost my material possessions but my pictures are still there. They're wet but they're salvageable." She said she was unsure where she would spend Monday night. Julie Stepanic, a Woodbridge leas ing consultant, said the apartment man agement would provide hotel accom modations for residents not staying with friends or relatives. At least 19 residents were evacuated, she said, adding that the management would move displaced residents into vacant Woodbridge apartments. Swiger said he could not estimate the monetary loss caused by the fire but said the building sustained heavy damage. TODAY CsscbsSl us.

It produces an image in the consciousness and sparks that fire." Although call and response and rep etition helped motivate congregations, at the bedrock of the movement was an unshakeable faith in a just God, Turner said. The congregations have "a funda mental belief in God, not in the Consti tution, not in people, but that God's gonna eventually make it right because God is true and real and just," Turner said. "That God is going to move is some thing the black church never allowed to come into question," he added. "That was a given of faith, that God is good, that God is all-powerful, that God will come through in the end. "It sits with the presupposition that righteousness and justice will prevail." mm Health from page 1 nia system. The insurance for each graduate employee costs the school $3 1 0 and covers the student for the entire year, she said. "Our university health service people were able to get a very good deal," Soc said. "They started working on this five years ago." I The university covers 2,800 gradiH ate student employees, although the; Berkeley plan recently was expanded to include all students, she said. The University of California at Los Angeles pays about $500 per year per student for health insurance coverage', she said. UNC's Graduate Students United support a plan that would cost $582 a year for 2,200 to 2,400 graduate student employees. Soc said graduate students must meet certain requirements in order to be in cluded in Berkeley's coverage. "They must be registered students and work 25-percent time or greater in one of eight titles," she said. A full-time position at the university qualifies as 100-percent time. The titles include graduate student instructor, graduate student researcher, tutor and teaching fellow, she said. The University of Wisconsin at Madi son also funds health insurance cover age for graduate student employees. Jean Moral, administrative program specialist at the University of Wiscon sin, said the university offered seven different types of coverage ranging from nothing to $200 for family coverage. "We do offer health insurance to graduate students who have an appoint ment of 33-percent time and at least six months or a semester on the payroll," Moral said. The coverage at Wisconsin is offered only to teaching assistants, research, assistants and project assistants and does not include other student employees.
