Plane crash in Wichita State flight kills 30 people
Government experts say the aging Wichita State football plane lacked a valid safety certificate but no mechanical failure is yet evident. A safety official reports the rented aircraft may have flown into a dead end canyon on a sightseeing route through the Rock Mountains and struck the Continental Divide foot while attempting a turnaround. The FAA says the vintage airliner did not obtain airworthiness certification after being reactivated in Las Vegas after three years idle.
