in the hurricane-lashed Azores
Islands and all 68 persons
aboard were killed, rescue offi-

Authorities said the 60-mem-

to a singing festival in Barce-

plane had a crew of eight, in-

Rescuers said the plane fell

News of the disaster was de-

west of Lisbon, the Portuguese
capital.
The cause of the crash was
not immediately clear. Weather
officials said Hurricane Emmy
had skirted the islands and
they speculated that the plane
was affected by wind or poor
