((The first incident happened Wednesday with a Nation's Air flight.
Bound from Puerto Rico to New York's Kennedy International Airport.
But about 70 miles out, off the new jersey coast the pilot of
the boeing 727 realized he had company...two f-16 fighter jets like
these, from a nearby air national guard unit...
He says one of them flew so close..within 400 feet in fact that
warning signs went blared in the cockpit of the commercial jetliner.
Startled, the pilot threw the plane into a steep dive to avoid a collision
throwing two flight attendants and a passenger to the floor.
Air national guard spokesman say the F-16 pilots were just trying to
identify the plane flying in restricted air space- something they could have
done by radar.
COL. THOMAS GRIFFIN/AIR NATIONAL GUARD: THEY WERE NOT HOT DOGGING.
But then surprisingly, another incident. This one near the
Maryland coast.
An American Eagle flight bound for Kennedy Airport and again more F-16's,
four of them- one flying within about 2-thousand feet of the commuter flight.

VO-NAT
SUPER=03-Los Vegas, NV;
The knockout occured in the fifth round and McCall appeared dazed at that
point.
Referee Mills Lane stopped the bizarre action when McCall stopped fighting.
Lewis is 30-and-1 with the victory that avenged his only defeat to McCall.
The loser fell to 28-and-7.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission immediately moved to hold up McCall's
three million-dollar purse because of the fighter's lack of effort.
McCall never returned to his corner after the third round.
(----------------)
He began crying after being largely inactive during the
fourth round.
Emanuel Steward, the trainer of Lewis who formerly had trained
McCall, said the loser suffered -- quote -- ``a miniature breakdown
emotionally'' becuase of the way the fight unfolded.
