...accounts of the survivors, it might have been much worse. David Stanley told the Associated Press: "We landed, the plane started skidding, and then flames, flames," he said. "I remember flames and flames." The plane slid all the way to the edge of the Arkansas River -- forcing passengers to disembark in waist-deep water. But aside from the horror, few hints have emerged of exactly what went wrong. The flight had been delayed two hours in Dallas, and arrived in Little Rock at the wrong time: Just as a storm began buffeting the airport with lightning, hail and winds gusting...

Thompson '99, Cabot House residents, disembark from the shuttle at around 10 p.m. They then promptly head to Christy's for a pint of orange juice, their mixer of choice...
Preliminary readings from the ship indicated that landing conditions were well within what the engineers had expected. Pathfinder was tilted at an angle of less than 3[degrees], plenty flat enough to allow the rover to disembark. The solar arrays were being bathed by sun and were producing all the power the spacecraft needed. That same sun, however, was providing little heat: the temperature at Ares Vallis was a crisp -64[degrees]F. But Pathfinder, built to function in that kind of killing cold, seemed unaffected.

A terrorist could have flown from Athens to New York and tried to leave a bag with the bomb inside on the plane as he prepared to disembark. But the TWA airliner would have been swept of all bags in the luggage compartments and underneath passenger seats before the Paris-bound passengers were boarded and their luggage loaded onto the aircraft. On the New York-Paris leg, no bag would have been allowed aboard the plane without its passenger on board...
