Twenty-three seconds later — after “several comments suggest ing loss of control” — the cockpit voice recording ends, he said. The plane’s other black box, the flight data recorder, was recov ered Tuesday after a 24-hour hunt through a Queens neighborhood staggered by a double dose of tragedy. At least 262 people were killed when the plane crashed. The NTSB was also looking at whether the engines failed after sucking in birds, a phenomenon that has caused severe damage to airliners in the past. But Black said an initial inspection of the en gines found no evidence of such a collision. He said a more detailed analysis still needs to be done. All 260 people aboard the twin engine Airbus A300 were killed, and five others were reported miss ing on the ground after the fiery crash Monday in the beachfront Rockaway section of Queens. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said 262 bodies had been recovered, along with dozens of body parts. Authorities were working with family members to identify re mains through DNA. The flight data recorder—one of two “black boxes” aboard the jetliner — tracks speed and the performance of the engine and in struments. Authorities haven’t ruled out sabotage or other potential causes but said the evidence so far sug gests it was an accident — per haps a catastrophic mechanical failure in the engines. The General Electric engines on the Airbus A300 model have drawn close scrutiny since the spring of 2000, when planes re ported engine failures that sent metal fragments flying. However, NTSB chairman Marion Blakey said Tuesday that the engines were largely intact. Large flocks of gulls, geese and other birds abound around Kennedy Airport, which is next to Jamaica Bay and a federally Tammy Rosemeyer, left, and Lone Pieper wait out a flight delay at Newark Airport after all flights were suspended at New York area airports, photo-by david swanson/krt campus protected wetland. At least 726 birds and other an imals have been hit b^ aircraft at Kennedy over the past decade, ac cording to Federal Aviation Administration records obtained by The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act. Most of the incidents at Kennedy happened at Runway 31L, where Flight 587 took off. Pilots using that runway report ed 139 incidents, at least 62 of which involved gulls. Other ani mals included barn owls, larks, sparrows, homing pigeons, a pere grine falcon and a jackrabbit. For years the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Which operates the airport, has used cannon-like noisemakers and trained falcons to scare birds away. The FAA also uses sharp shooters to kill birds. Bush order would allow terrorist trials BY RON FOURNIER ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - President Bush signed an order Tuesday that would allow the govern ment to try people accused of terrorism in front of a special military commission instead of in civilian court. The order, signed by Bush be fore he left for Crawford, Texas, gives the administration another avenue to bring the Sept. 11 ter rorists to justice, White House counsel Albert Gonzales said. “This is a new tool to use against terrorism,” he said. He said there were precedents in World War II and the Civil War. Gonzales, a former Texas Supreme Court judge who is the president’s top lawyer, said a military commission could have several advantages over a civil ian court. It’s easier to protect the sources and methods of in vestigators in military proceed ings, for example, and a military trial can be held overseas. Gonzales said there might be times when prosecutors feel a tri al in America wouldn’t be safe. The order is the latest effort by the administration to toughen the nation’s laws against terrorists. Under the new order, Bush could establish a military com mission in the future by asking the secretary of defense to estab lish the rules for one. “This does not identify by name who should be exposed to military justice,” Gonzales said. “It just provides the framework that, should the president have findings in the future, he could” order Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld to establish such a commission. Gonzales said there is precedent for such panels. President Franklin Roosevelt had World War II saboteurs tried by military commission, as did President Lincoln during the Civil War, the lawyer said. “This is a global war. To have successful prosecutions, we might have to give up sources and meth ods” in a civilian court. “We don’t want to have to do that.” Gonzalez said: “Any individual subject to the order would be giv en a full and fair trial, pursuant to the secretary of defense.” The administration has been considering both military and civil ian trial options. In either scenario, any suspect would retain rights to a lawyer and to a trial by jury. The military proceedings would give the government greater latitude, according to one military law expert. New York at torney Victor St. John said: “A military court would probably haVe more control over things like media coverage and location. ‘There is certainly a greater sense of security and formality that might keep things from dissolving into a circus.” Come See everything Senate flaw Has To Offer! efficiency from $575 1 Bedroom from $770 2 Bedrooms from $920 SENATE PLAZA Walking distance to USC, Capitol and Downtown 1520 Senate Street Columbia, SC 29201 (803) 799-6145 FAX (803) 799-9405 Prices Include: • fill Utilities • Reserved Parking • Fitness Center • Sparkling Pool & Spa • Valet Dry Cleaning • Recycling Center • Great City Views Friday, November 30 9:00 am - 1:00 pm Town Theatre, 1012 Sumter St., Columbia, SC Seeking: Singers, Dancers, Actors, Mimes, Puppeteers, Costumed Characters, Technicians and Specialty Acts. * Company paid holidays and vacation time * Medical, dental, vision and prescriptions * Additional opportunities * Master classes and workshops Video Taped Auditions Are gladly accepted!
