Jet nose-dives in Colorado; 25 die COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (AP) A United jetliner with 25 people on board crashed in flames as it approached the Colorado Springs airport Sunday. There were apparently no survivors, authorities said.
United Flight 585 en route from Denver crashed at 9:55 a.m. about five miles south of the airport, the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington said. There were 20 passengers and a crew of five on board. The plane narrowly missed houses and apartment buildings; at least one person on the ground was injured. The United States Olympic Committee said two committee employees and a coach with the U.S.
Cycling Federation were aboard the plane. United officials said a list of victims would be released today, Chicago-based United said in a statement that "at this time there are no reports of survivors" aboard the twin-engine Boeing 737-200. "All obviously are presumed dead," said Sgt. Dean Kelsey of the El Paso County sheriff's office. "There's not a great deal of that airplane left," said Sheriff Bernie Barry.
In Glenview, a Navy plane crashed Sunday in a residential neighborhood a half-mile south of the Glenview Naval Air Station in the Chicago suburb, killing its three-person crew, officials said.

WYOMING COLORADO UTAH Estes Park Denver Colorado Springs Airplane crash 25 NEW MEXICO The Register Witnesses said the pilot seemed to deliberately miss homes before he went down with the plane about 11:45 a.m. Chief Petty Officer Roy Griggs confirmed the three-member crew was killed. Their names were withheld pending notification of relatives.
No one on the ground was injured, he said. Griggs said he knew of no mechanical problems with the plane. He said it could take up to four weeks to investigate the cause of the crash. There was no communication from the pilot to the airport control tower indicating any problem before the crash in Colorado, said Dick Meyer of the FAA's public information office in Seattle. The plane was inspected Sunday at Denver and had no history of problems, Lawrence Nagin, United senior vice president, said at a news conference at company headquarters.
A witness, Army Command Sgt. Maj. Leo Martinez, said the plane banked sharply, veered and then crashed virtually nose first. "I watched and it went vertically into the ground," he said. "There was a huge fireball, black smoke and orange flame." Sheriff's Lt.
Bill Mistretta said the plane crashed in an unincorporated residential area called Widefield. The plane crashed in a park surrounded by houses and apartment buildings. The blackened and twisted wreckage was scattered across the park. A piece of engine turbine was found across from the apartment complex in a vacant field, about a third of a mile from the crash site, sheriff's officials said. Ed Arangio, administrator at Memorial Hospital, said a 12-year-old girl who was in the doorway of her house suffered a head injury when she was blown backward by the force of the crash.
She was treated and released. The weather was clear but there were high, gusty winds in the area at the time of the crash, Mistretta said.

Pamela Gerdts was returning home to Colorado Springs from Houston, Texas, said her husband, Paul Mundt, in a telephone interview late Sunday. "She was dearly beloved by all who knew her," he said.
"That's all I can say right now." Gerdts worked at WOC, now KWQC-TV, from about 1981 to 1985, he said. She worked at a computer software company in the Colorado Springs area. -Tom Alex The two-person co*ckpit crew was based in San Francisco and the flight attendants were based in New York City.
