Aboard this freighter the eight survivors of a Cuban plane that
crashed into the Gulf of Mexico.
Their next stop: a Coast Guard Cutter.
There they'll be interviewed to answer a pressing question: did the
crash come at the end of a hijacking or did the passengers try to
defect to the United States?
LT. CMDR. RON LEBRECHT, U.S. COAST GUARD, paraphrased, that will
give us the platform to interview them.
But officials are almost convinced the ill-fated flight was a flight to freedom.
One person was killed; another severely injured after the stolen crop
duster flew from Cuba, ran out of fuel and ditched into the rough waters of the Gulf.
Officials say its still too early to determine what will be done with the survivors.
US law allows Cubans to apply for residency, IF they reach American soil.
But the survivors of Tuesday's crash were picked up in international waters.
That's put the treatment of would-be Cuban exiles, like Elian Gonzalez, back in the spotlight.

Fornal felt she had no other choice.
Fornal and five other stroke patients have been treated with

be six to ten times more powerful than the drug TPA that's currently
used to help stroke victims with fewer complications and side affects.
Although the study is in its beginning stages...the early results
indicate
TNK is safer than TPA...giving doctors new hope.
Reseachers say finding a treatment to reverse the paralyzing affects
of stroke is vital. Every minute...someone in the United States
