FOCUS-One dead as turbulence hits Japan-US flight Reuters Story - December 28, 1997 18:33 %NEWS %JP %US %AIR %DIS UAL V%REUTER P%RTR By Brian Williams TOKYO, Dec 29 (Reuters) - A United Airlines jumbo jet with 393 people aboard hit massive air turbulence over the Pacific Ocean on Sunday night, killing a Japanese woman traveller and injuring 110 passengers. The pilot reported by radio that the airliner dived 300 meters then soared up, throwing passengers without seat belts to the ceiling and knocking them back to the floor, Japanese airport officials said. "The serving carts were also thrown to the ceiling and then crashed back down on us," a passenger told Japanese television. The officials at Tokyo's main international Narita Airport said the accident happened just after the passengers had finished eating a meal two hours after the Boeing 747 left the airport at 9:05 p.m (1205 GMT). The accident took place over the northern Pacific about 1,800 km (1,100 miles) east of Narita. Flight 826, bound for Honolulu with 374 passengers and 19 crew members aboard, flew back safely to Narita, landing at 2:25 a.m. (1725 GMT). Ambulances and fire engines stood by as the aircraft touched down. The officials said a 32-year-old Japanese female passenger died and 110 passengers were injured, some of them seriously. The injured were rushed to hospitals near Narita airport. Passengers with broken limbs, neck injuries and bloodied faces were helped off the airliner. United Airlines is a unit of UAL Corp .

Did'nt he buy a junk Packard-Bell computer from Best Buy about 12 months ago? I think it was an AST or an ACER, both sound the same to me. The 12 month time period makes sense to me...have you heard of anyone going postal in a computer store in southern Cal lately? <G>
