...Paul II through Poland for this week's cover story, is no stranger to papal tours. He flew twice with Pope Paul VI and had a chat with John Paul II on the new Pontiffs trip to Mexico last January. Wynn reports great differences between the two as air passengers. "Pope Paul established the habit of visiting the press section during each flight," recalls Wynn. "But he was reserved and a bit shy. He would shake each newsman's hand, murmur a greeting, and then return to his compartment." But when John Paul II meets the press...
...maintain pressure on controls spilled out. The leading-edge flaps that were extended from the front of the whig to supply extra lift on takeoff may have been struck and damaged by the engine. Or the lack of hydraulic pressure to keep the flaps out may have permitted air pressure to push them back in. Now, the undamaged right wing, flaps still extended and engine still thrusting, had more lift than the left. It rose rapidly until it was perpendicular to the ground. At that terrifying angle, the DC-10 lost airspeed and plunged into a field half a mile...

If the NTSB eventually finds the DC-10 pylons are too weak, it could recommend that the plane be grounded again until they are strengthened or replaced, and the FAA most likely would issue such an order...

At the historic St. John's Cathedral, the congregation broke through ropes and mobbed the Pontiff. The day's climax was an open-air Mass for up to 500,000 people at downtown Victory Square. When John Paul declared, "Without Christ it is impossible to understand the history of Poland," the crowd burst into applause that lasted fully ten minutes, while spontaneous singing of the hymn Christ Conquers spread like a tidal wave...
