As they milled about, service crews vacuumed the 747's rugs, emptied ashtrays, placed clean linen on the backrests. Ground personnel pumped 37,750 gal. of Aiel into the plane's tanks, enough for its normal cruising range of about 6,000 miles. A fresh crew, led by Captain Chun Byung In, a veteran of 10,547 flying hours, took over in the cockpit. One fortunate family left Flight 007 in Anchorage. Robert Sears...
