(The Russian press called him "a Powers of the ground.") Advised by the prosecution that the government did not intend to go hard on him. Kaminsky entered a plea of guilty. Bennett appeared as a witness for the state, conceding that Kaminsky's photographs were hardly "usual...

They found evidence that the No. 1 or outboard engine on the left wing had been shut down and feathered by the pilot, indicating that he was coping with an emergency. CAB believes that the three other engines were delivering power, or at least some measure of power, when the plane crashed...
