Wreckage misses children
NZPA-Reuter Itami, Japan An engine tail cone from a South Korean airliner fell off in mid-flight and hit a primary school building in this west Japan town, missing a group of children by only a few metres, the police said yesterday. Pupils had just finished a volleyball match in the school gymnasium yesterday when the 7.5 kg cone crashed through the roof of an adjacent hut, they said. The bell-shaped cone came from a Seoul-bound Korean Airlines A-300 Airbus. The plane returned to Osaka shortly after takeoff because of engine trouble and the tail cone was found to be missing, they said.
