anything I can do?
BUT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING ANYONE COULD HAVE DONE... 13 PEOPLE ON-BOARD

KIRSKVILLE, MISSOURI. MIRACULOUSLY THOUGH- DR. KROGH WAS NOT THE ONLY

considering his condition he is doing well.
BRIDGE:
The NTSB is waiting for information gathered from the plane's two flight
data recorders....both black boxes - they say - were found...in good
shape.
WHEN THE PLANE WENT DOWN SKIES WERE OVERCAST..BUT COMMUNICATIONS WERE
GOOD ...AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF TROUBLE FROM THE COCKPIT
EVEN WITH THE BLACK BOX INFORMATION...THE INSIGHT OF TWO SURRVIVORS - IT
COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH IN UNCOVERED.

A Republican lawmaker is questioning the process Governor Mark Warner uses to restore the voting rights of felons.
Since Warner took office in 2002, he has given the vote back to nearly 19 hundred state felons who have served their prison time and completed probation.
Chesterfield Delegate Brad Marrs asked the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office in a letter to confirm a news report that Warner had approved 65 reinstatements in the final week of September.
Marrs wrote that if that were true, then the review process is inadequate.
Warner's deputy press secretary says felons' applications are closely reviewed.
