Both Airliners
Said Off Course
At Time of Crash
Los Angeles (U.R) Civil Aer
onautics Administration spokes
men have declared that the two
airliners which crashed Satur
day in the Grand Canyon of
Arizona with a loss of 128 lives
were at least 30 miles off course
at the time.
John L. Garrison, chief of the
regional facility of .the CAA,
told a press conference Monday
that the Trans World Airlines
Super Constellation was some
five miles off course while the
United airliner was about 25
miles off the course projected
in its flight plans.
The TWA plane was equipped
with anti-proximity radar but
the CAA said it could not say
if the equipment was in use
at the time of the crash.
Garrison confirmed officially
for the first time that the TWA
plane "was 1,000 feet above the
weather front at its own request.
Garrison said the pilot of the
Kansas City-bound plane had
been advised the United air
liner was flying at 21,000 feet
and given its projected flight
plan.
The CAA declared the pro
jected path of crossing of the
two planes was about 85 miles
east of the point where they
crashed. Asked whether the CAA
accepted the probability that the
planes collided in the air, Gar
rison replied:
"There has been no official
information to indicate if there
was or was not a collision. It is
just as likely it was or was
not."
