(LOCATOR: PARIS)

IN PARIS, THE GRIEVING CAME FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE 113 VICTIMS OF TUESDAY'S CONCORDE DISASTER. NOW, ANOTHER STILL PHOTO HAS EMERGED THAT SHOWS THE JET WAS ALREADY ON FIRE EVEN BEFORE IT LEFT THE RUNWAY. IT IS JUST ANOTHER CLUE THAT INVESTIGATORS SAY POINTS TO MECHANICAL FAILURE. IN ADDITION, DEBRIS FROM THE PLANE WAS FOUND STREWN FROM THE RUNWAY ALL THE WAY TO THE CRASH SITE, INCLUDING BITS OF TIRE ON THE RUNWAY. THE FRENCH TRANSPORT MINISTRY ANNOUNCED THE CONCORDE'S BLACK BOXES REVEALED NOT JUST ONE BUT BOTH LEFT ENGINES MAY HAVE HAD A PROBLEM, AND THE JET'S LANDING GEAR MAY NOT HAVE RETRACTED ON TAKE OFF. THAT, THEY SAY, IS ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO BE ABLE TO RULE OUT SABOTAGE AND PROBABLY PILOT ERROR AS WELL, IN FACT, MOST ANALYSTS SAY THE CAPTAIN DID A REMARKABLE JOB OR KEEPING THE JET IN THE AIR AS LONG AS HE DID.

STILL COMPENSATION FOR THE 113 VICTIMS COULD TOP TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, SOMETHING AN AIR FRANCE SPOKESMAN HAS SAID THE AIRLINE WOULD PAY AS A MATTER OF COURSE AND HAS ALREADY BEEN PAYING FOR VICTIMS FUNERAL EXPENSES.

Frederick Pledge spent nearly four days in jail. He was released yesterday when his girlfriend's father posted property in Martinsville, clearing the way for his release on 100-thousand dollars bond.
