Eastern Air Lines Flight 855 from Miami International Airport is normally a 30-minute pleasure hop to the resort of Nassau, some 180 miles away. But the trip became a brief waking nightmare for 162 passengers and ten crew members aboard Flight 855 last week. For 50 heart-stopping minutes, they faced possible disaster as their trijet L-1011 aircraft lost power in all three engines and fell almost four miles, to within 4,000 ft. of the Atlantic waves.

Barry was meeting the stars of Sesame Street before their live show at Nassau Coliseum. Born retarded, he had lived in a residential treatment center since he was six, following the death of both parents. Until he shone on Thursday's Child, a weekly news feature conducted by Anchorwoman Michele Marsh on New York's WCBS-TV, he seemed destined to stay there. But five months after his appearance...
