CRASH Democrat and Chronicle Rochester. N.Y. i Nov. 1,79 'Felt something was going to happen survivor says Atlantic 22? By ALESSANDRO ANNIBALI As told to United Press International MEXICO CITY I was sitting near the back, mear the window. I felt it.

I felt something was'going to happen. When we left Los Angeles at 3 in the morning, the plane was going up very slowly. We were not very high. I don't know why the plane was flying so low. When we arrived in Mexico City the DC-10 was going down little by little, very slowly, and then we found a lot of fog and I couldn't see anything else.

I couldn't see the ground. I just saw that the plane was tilted a little bit toward the right, and it touched down with the right tire. A lot of fire came out and the pilot tried to go up again but it was not possible so we turned right more and more, more dangerously, and then a big explosion. I closed my eyes and I tried to stay in my place. When I opened them I saw a lot of fire and I heard a lot of voices.

I opened my seatbelt and came out of the plane. It was broken in two parts and when I was not very far away from the plane I heard it blow up. I heard a big explosion. The plane was broken apart near me, on my right side, so I had a very big place to jump out and I remembered after that there was a woman in front of me. But when I jumped I just was thinking of myself and I don't know exactly if she is alive or if she is dead.

I don't know. After I got out of the plane there was a car coming, an ambulance, and I jumped in but then had to wait because other people were coming. My left hand and my foot is burned and my shoulder is dislocated. When the car was full with seven or eight people, I came here to the hospital and then here there were people in worse condition than me so I had to wait a little bit. I feel very lucky.

Maybe satellite saw 'superbolt' 1 New York Times NEW YORK A "superbolt," which is a lightning flash so powerful that it can release as much energy as a small nuclear weapon, may account for what was originally thought to be a nuclear detonation near South Africa last month, some scientists now believe. Several dozen superbolts have been identified in recent years by bomb-monitoring Vela satellites, one of which made the Sept. 22 observation. Such lightning flashes, with 100 times more energy than a normal bolt, occur chiefly over water. Today and tomorrow, specialists in a variety of fields will meet in Washington under White House auspices review possible explanations of last month's event.

Superbolts are seen by some as the most plausible explanation because, as with the Sept. 22 event, they produce a very brief flash much like that of a nuclear detonation. However, the recording was of a double pulse, which is characteristic of nuclear explosions, rather than the single flash recorded from superbolts. The initial flash is from the triggering device, followed by the main detonation. Specialists at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in New Mexico, which developed the satellites that watch for -secret weapons tests, are said to be convinced that last month's flashes were typical of those from a nuclear test.

The most obvious explanation for the twin flashes would be a secret nuclear weapons test. South Africa's vehement denial of a nuclear test has led to suggestions that a missile was inadvertently launched and detonated by a Soviet submarine. However, such an explosion should have produced signs and none have been detected. peacn five hours before being rescued by a helicopter. Marrietta said the water was chin-deep by the time his family reached the barn.

"There are about 1,700 people in the area that we have evacuated and they will be out of their homes at least tonight and some will be two days before they can get back to their homes," Waters said. FPL spokesman Charles Scheer said the reservoir was filled in 1977 and will be used to cool two oil-fired generators that are under construction at the giant utility's Indiantown plant. One generator is expected to become operational in 1980 and the other in 1981. The generators are at the opposite end of the reservoir from the dam and were not damaged, Scheer said. The dam was built by the Midvalley Construction Co.

of Texas from dirt mixed with a small amount of concrete, Scheer said. It is 150 feet wide at the base and 25 to 30 feet wide at the top. The depth ranges from 9 to 19 feet. Miami Flight 2605's crew, passenger list i ii Neat, Dressy Appearance Nothing Replaces a Kies, Robert San Diego. King.

FLOOD From Page 1A The first word of the dam break came at 1:47 a.m. when a Florida East Coast Railway freight train crew radioed it had been derailed by a flash flood near Port Mayaca, about 40 miles northwest of West Palm Beach. By daybreak, flood waters that were 29 feet deep in some low lying areas had covered an area of ranches and lakeside fishing resorts along a 20-mile stretch of the northeast shore of Lake Okeechobee between Port Mayaca and Nubbin Slough to the north.

William Marrietta, who owns a 300-acre cattle ranch a mile from thev reservoir, took a direct hit from the flood wave. "I woke up when my daughter screamed," Marrietta said. "When I got out of bed, the water was up to my knees." Marrietta, his wife and three children made their way from the house to a nearby barn, where they scrambled to the roof and shivered in the dark for For that MIDTOWN EASTVIEW b-LaWe-1 0 To face a typica" winter in style and it takes a warm, styled topcoat or Our new selection superb, including single and double models, herringbones, cashmere, camel hairs, wools and wool blends good choice of colors The best select yours is right topcoats OVERCOATS FromS --s From Page 1A Preliminary reports indicated the plane's crew may have realized a split-second too late it was headed down a closed runway and vainly tried to abort the landing. It should have landed on a parallel runway. Authorities said the plane struck a parked dump truck on the runway that had been closed for repairs, killing the truck driver, and then plowed into two airport buildings.

As the jet broke apart, chunks of wreckage cut through a slum tenement district. No deaths were reported in the tenements. "Everything seemed normal until the right side of the plane hit something," said one survivor, Allard Hoogland, 27, an agricultural engineer from the Netherlands. "There must have been something on the runway For a few moments we were free of the ground, and then we hit the ground again." Still strapped in his seat, he was thrown out and "landed on the runway upside down with the seat belt still on," said Hoogland. The Mexican Transportation Ministry said the pilot, Capt.

Charles Gilbert, "tried to land on the wrong runway," clipped a truck, then headed for the correct runway to the right but swiped a building with his right wing-tip. Gilbert was not listed among the sources said the plane was making an approach on runway 23-right, one of two parallel runways. Runway 23-left has been closed for repairs since Oct. 19. The sources said that as the plane entered a fog bank, the tower asked whether it had the runway in sight.

The crew said it did not, and began to pull up in order to circle for another approach. But some airport workers who witnessed the crash from up close said the plane tried to land in the correct runway, 23-right, but pulled up for un- -known reasons and veered to the right. A Braniff Airlines employee who witnessed the crash from 200 yards away said it appeared the plane first touched down on the correct runway and then inexplicably turned up its engines and tried to pull up while veering to the right; HP rcrois SPECIAL PURCHASE of FACTORY SECONDS 2 DRAWER FILE with lock locks both Lit Prica $59.96 drawers), high sides Ted's Ch j' IU OLtui iiiiumoic rnce hanging toloers. run $25.99 18" white only colon ivtilablo ilighrly higher price HAR FORD, COM IN' ii it iii wn I un II' ii iin i iiwi it 11 Pi 4 jA i HICKEY-FREEMAN HART SCHAFFNER MARX JACOB SIEGEL HARRY FISCHER MAJER Associated Press Here is a list, provided by Western Airlines, ol 88 people aboard Flight 2605, which crashed yesterday in Mexico City.

He said he'd never fly Associated Press CHICAGO Five months ago, ABC News field producer Ken Lucoff covered the worst airplane crash in American history and later said he never wanted to fly in a DC-10. Yesterday, he died on his way to cover rioting in El Salvador when a DC-10 crashed at the Mexico City airport. After an American Airlines DC-10 crashed on takeoff from O'Hare International Airport last May 25, killing 273 people, the 31-year-old Lucoff was as Democrat Chronicle is published seven days a week.
