Recorders found to aid TWA 727 crash probe
Two flight recorders were recovered from the mountaintop crash site near Mt Weather as 12 more bodies were found. National Transportation Safety Board chair John H. Reed said the cockpit voice and flight data recorders were in good condition and should yield crucial warning signs about crew procedures and engine data. A 45 to 50 member investigative team organized in Winchester planned to move to Washington with the devices. The three engine TWA 514 carried 85 passengers and seven crew, and crashed in driving wind and rain near Route 7 50, with 26 bodies recovered yesterday and more to be processed at a temporary morgue five miles from the scene.
