Three Die As National Airlines Jet Crashes Into Pensacola Bay
In Escambia Bay three people were killed and three more reported missing after a National Airlines jet from Mobile struck the water near Pensacola airport. The plane carried 53 passengers and seven crew. Rescue fleets and fog hindered efforts as divers reported the fuselage partly submerged and jet fuel posed fire risk. A tugboat barge helped many survivors reach safety, while officials noted unclear last counts due to dispersal among hospitals. The crash occurred during a final approach, with flight 193 originating in Miami and making multiple Florida stops.

President Rodrigo Carazo fulfilled his campaign promise by barring fugitive financier Robert Vesco from re entering Costa Rica. Vesco, accused in the United States of embezzling about 224 million dollars, left for a Caribbean business trip and is believed to be in Grenada. Officials said entry would be refused at all ports, with no immediate appeal. Vesco’s wife and three youngest children reportedly moved to New Jersey weeks earlier. Vesco faces other probes and tax claims in the United States, including a 1.1 million dollar IRS demand.
