Explosion In Airliner Crash Reported In Centerville
Fragments of a Continental Airlines jetliner are being pieced together at Centerville fairgrounds to determine if a tail explosion caused the crash that killed 45. Insurance of 225000 was bought for one passenger before departure from Chicago. FBI agents, led by W Mark Felt, returned to the Unionville Missouri crash site. Continental president Robert Six says a man made condition may have torn the plane apart, not weather. CAB official Edward Slattery Jr. says wreckage will be reconstructed from rear door to tail to show break origin.
