"The pilot was afraid that when the pilot reversed throttle on his englines which you do not feel when you're in your seat the whole troop that was fighting in the aisles would have wound up in the cockpit." Kelley said state police based their explanation on interviews with the flight crew. He said the fight lasted 15 to 20 minutes. According to the airline, however, the fight began and ended after the jet landed at Logan International Airport.

The jet had had to bypass its first landing because a Northwest Airlines jet was slow in taxiing out of the way, said Ned Walker, a Continental spokesman. "I have spoken with the captain who said there was a Northwest plane on the runway that was slow to clear and resulted in his decision to do what they call a go-around," Walker said. Michael Ciccarelli, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Boston, said Sunday that the Logan control tower heard nothing of an on-board altercation before the landing. "The airplane, making a normal approach, was given a routine go-around because the airplane landing in front of him was slow in clearing the runway," Ciccarelli said. The FAA has opened an investigation into the incident.

Sacks-Wilner, the chief counsel for the Republican minority in the New Jersey Senate, faces charges of interference with a flight crew, disorderly conduct and three counts of assault on a police officer, Howley said.

Bumpy flight injures passengers MIAMI (AP) An American Airlines jet with 248 people aboard ran into unexpected turbulence that threw passengers against the cabin ceiling, sending 45 people to the hospital, officials said Sunday.

"I bounced off the ceiling twice. It scared the heck out of me," passenger Bob Watson, 39, of Jensen Beach, said after the accident Saturday night on the A -3 00 Airbus. Most of those injured suffered neck and shoulder sprains, said airline spokesman John Hotard. There were no broken bones. The ride became rough with 40 minutes left in the three-hour flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico, as the aircraft descended for a landing at Miami International Airport.

The turbulance at 35,000 feet "threw the aircraft up and then down," Hotard said in a telephone interview from American's headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. Seat-belt lights weren't on, Watson said in an interview at the airport. Watson said the pilot told passengers the storm was unexpected. The pilot's radar was clear and showed no thunderstorms, Hotard said. was estimated at $600 and $5,000 to the Graham pick-up.

Q. I get tired of our church and other religious organizations constantly asking for money.

Why do they place such an emphasis on this? I would gladly give if I knew there was a real need, but sometimes I wonder. Does the Bible set any guidelines for this? K.T. A. It is regrettable whenever a religious (or charitable) organization give the impression that it is placing too much emphasis on fund-raising. People know that occasionally organizations have abused this, and it makes them question any organization that needs to raise money for real needs.

Yes, the Bible has much to say about money and the church. For one thing, it acknowledges that God's work does require money. Even Jesus and His little band of 12 disciples required some resources so they could devote themselves to the ministry God has for them, and we read of several wealthy women who "were helping to support them out of their own means" (Luke This is one reason churches and other organizations should make it clear why funds are needed and how they will be spent. The Bible also emphasizes that money given for God's work must be handled honestly and openly. When Paul, for example, collected money to help Christians suffering from famine he made sure more than one person watched over it as it was delivered, "We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift.

For we are taking pains to do what is right, now only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men" (2 Corinthians Giving to God's work is a privilege, and we should see it as such, "for God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Corinthians Remember that God gave us the greatest, most sacrificial gift of all the gift of His own son for our salvation. BOSTON (AP) Continental Airlines said Sunday an altercation aboard one of its jets occurred after the plane touched down and did not cause an aborted landing at Logan International Airport. The airline's explanation differed from an account given by the Massachusetts State Police after interviewing the crew of Flight 358. Six people, including a counsel to the New Jersey Senate, his wife and four Massachusetts residents, were arrested at Logan after the fight. Steven Sacks-Wilner, 39, of Montgomery Township, N.J., and his wife, Joanne, 37, were arrested when the flight from Trenton, N.J., landed at 5:30 p.m.

Saturday, according to state police Cpl. Joseph Howley. "They had a little brawl," he said. "It started out as a husband and wife that were sort of running around the plane and making demands on the crew and being a general nuisance and hollering." The fight between the couple occurred in the air, and expanded to involve four other passengers, police said. The on-board confusion led the pilot of the 146-passenger MD-80 aircraft to give up on his first landing try, said Sgt.

Stephen Kelley. "They were fighting in the to the Shifflette vehicle. Failing to yield A Staunton woman was charged with failing to yeild the right-of-way and failing to wear a seat belt Sunday shortly after noon when she reportedly pulled from a private entrance onto Greenville Avenue and into the path of another vehicle, according to a Staunton Police report. Kelley Pritchard, 21, of 826 Selma Boulevard in Staunton, told police that she saw the other vehicle approaching but thought she had enough time to enter the highway safely. The Pritchard vehicle struck a vehicle driven by Jefferey Knott, 22, of Route 2, Mt.

Solon. Ms. Pritchard, who was injured in the crash, was treated and released from King's Daughters' Hospital, according to a hospital spokesman. Damage to the Pritchard vehicle was estimated at $2,500 and $1,000 to the Knott vehicle.
