IT STOPPED...WHEN THE PLANE STOPPED, THE FIRE HAD ALREADY
STARTED.
But the fire spread so slowly that people were not only able
to escape...a lot of them managed to grab purses or duty free
goods...and one of the flight crew even left with his suitcase.
When firemen got inside they discovered not everyone had been
so lucky.
I HEARD A BIG BANG, says this man...I THINK THE CENTRAL PART
OF THE PLANE WAS DESTROYED WHEN I HEARD THE BANG.
The Garuda DC-10 was already skidding by the end of the runway...sliding
sideways as it crashed through a fence and ditch ripping off its landing gear
and spinning around on its
belly.
Investigators were quickly on the scene...wondering what went
wrong in the first fatal moments of flight 865...and marveling
that so many survived.
Investigators are focusing on the possibility of some sort of
engine failure as the plane was about to lift off. but experts point out that
a dc-10 has three engines and that even if one fails, the plane can take off
using only the other two. at this point, obviously, there are more questions
than answers.

Earlier yesterday the youngest person left on the ranch came out:
16 year old Ashley Landers, dressed in dark clothing. Her mother
who is wanted on charges in Colorado remained inside.
There was one bizarre twist yesterday that may have complicated
negotiations. Two farmers drove onto the freeman ranch and
started ploughing the fields.
One was the new owner of the ranch Dean Clark. He bought the land when his
grandfather was foreclosed on...but his father and grandfather are Freemen and
his father threw him off his own
land.
