Plane Crashes Continues After Death Theory Discussion
In Charlotte North Carolina Senator A Mike Monroney asserts his belief that the Bolivia crash was caused by a death by own action bomb. Monroney, chair of the Senate aviation subcommittee, cites Civil Aeronautics Board probes and says the key question is the explosive type. Early chemical analysis points to a low order explosive with no residue, not nitroglycerine black powder or dynamite, though other exotic options remain.
