WHAT
A torn flight boot hurled from the impact area when a light plane
plummeted into this densely wooded area, adds the touch of tragedy to
a debris-strewn scene. The backdrop is the crumpled fuselage of the
craft which carried two men to their deaths as they tried to maneuver
through heavily overcast skies late Monday.
