Crash toll put at 6
NZPA-AP New York More bodies were recovered yesterday, raising the death toll in an air collision between two light planes over the residential area of Cliffside Park, New Jersey, to six.
The search for dead or injured continued as investigators inventoried wreckage strewn over 20 blocks and impounded air traffic con-
trol recordings to determine why the planes collided. The body of the sixth person killed was believed to be that of a man who had been in his apartment when a burning corporate Falcon 50 jet slammed into two buildings on Monday, igniting a fire that also engulfed three other buildings. The bodies of the pilot and co-pilot of the jet,
which was owned by Nabisco Brands, Inc., were found in rubble yesterday along with the pilot and passenger of the other plane, a single-engine Piper Cherokee. The other two people killed were on the ground. Fourteen people were in the two buildings and 13 had time to escape, said a state police captain.
