Ben, WSU - Wall Street Underground written by Nick Guarino. He has some very interesting theories... Some may or not be true but I tend to believe him more than the Clinton administration. More from that issue... (to answer your weather questions) Captain Schic climbs to the control tower to give IFOR-21 a friendly radio greeting and reassurance that all is well. He describes the Cilipi weather: visibliity eight kilometers, winds still at 14 mph, all flights arriving normally. Flying at about 10,000 feet and 40+ miles away, IFOR-21 Co-captains Ashley Davis, 35 and Tim Shafer, 33, thank Schic for his words of welcome. Because there is no airport radar, the control tower will no be able to track IFOR-21 as she approaches the airport. These conditions are later described by Newsweek as "the worst storm in ten years" with "visibility just 100 yards". cont. - Later the Pentagon brass stoutly denied all this. They said there were NO black boxes aboard. They claimed the actual recovered boxes were designed to hold soda pop (yeah) and toilet paper. (In fact, the black boxes are painted bright orange, so investigators can more easily find and identify them. The Croats, who feel they can tell a reel of tape from a roll of toilet paper, are keeping mum.) It is hard to imagine that America's #2 VIP plane had no black box. And a veteran Air Force mechanic, who claims to have worked on just about every T-34A in the USAF tells me he never saw one without a black box. That is all I will post on this as I know there are lots of other Clinton threads. - Jim.
