Croatia - Aftermath Of Plane Crash

Описание: (4 Apr 1996) T/I: 10:05:04


Rain and fog near Dubrovnik slowed efforts on Thursday (4/4) to recover further bodies from the wreckage of the aircraft carrying US Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. Also hampering the recovery effort is the heavy concentration of land mines in the area. Brown's plane crashed into a hillside on Wednesday afternoon (3/4) as it approached Dubrovnik to land. On Thursday morning, American soldiers and Croatian police were jointly trying to recover all the bodies. As well as Brown, the plane was carrying 26 passengers and had a crew of six.
