He waved to supporters on the South Lawn who had assembled to watch fireworks. They serenaded him with a hurried rendition of Happy Birthday. But instead...

Ram?n Garc?a Ant?n said that "the machinist must have suffered some sort of unconsciousness or problem," adhering to the official line that only human factor was to blame.
