What Caused the Deadly 747 Crash in Afghanistan?
The video showing a U.S. civilian cargo jet slamming into the ground in Afghanistan and exploding into a fireball is chilling and perhaps telling, but it's only one piece of evidence the Afghan government will use to investigate what caused National Airlines NCR 102 to crash and kill all seven crew members this week.
The Afghanistan Ministry of Transportation and Commercial Aviation will lead the investigation as part of the U.S.-led coalition's policy of making Afghanistan govern itself. But it won't be working alone. Four investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board arrived in Afghanistan on May 2 with representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing, which made the 747-400 cargo plane that went down. The doomed flight was scheduled to carry military vehicles and other cargo from Bagram Airbase to Dubai, a frequent stop for troops and equipment coming from and going to Afghanistan.
The first step will be to recover the flight and cockpit voice recorders and send them to the United States for analysis, one expert said. As in any crash, the flight recorders are expected to be invaluable. In the meantime, an unauthorized video possibly taken by a dashboard camera has gone viral after its posting on the LiveLeaks website. The video shows no evidence of Taliban fire, although the Associated Press and others have reported a Taliban claim of responsibility. Contractors working in Afghanistan are always concerned about insider attacks by rogue Afghans, but there is no evidence of that so far.
"It's a classic stall on takeoff," aviation safety expert Mary Schiavo says. "It goes up, loses its momentum, and falls off to the right."
Schiavo oversaw FAA responses to air crashes as inspector general at the Transportation Department in the 1990s. She said three things can cause a stall like the one seen on the video: first, a loss of engine power; second, runaway trim in which the small stabilizer tabs on a 747-400's tail elevators are incorrectly set upward, either because of a malfunction or human error; third, cargo sliding to the back of the plane on takeoff, upsetting its weight balance.
Investigators will try to determine whether the plane's fuel might have had water in it, which could have caused the engines to lose power, Schiavo said. They'll want to make sure the plane's takeoff speed was set to the correct velocity?if it goes too slowly, the plane would stall. In one example, investigators believe an incorrect takeoff setting caused the 2004 crash of a 747-244 jet in Halifax, Nova Scotia. And, of course, they'll explore whether the load was secured and balanced correctly. The flight's loadmaster, whose role was to secure and balance the cargo, was an employee of National, company spokeswoman Shirley Kaufman said in an email. (Orlando-based National Airlines is a subsidiary of National Air Cargo Holdings.)
The U.S.-led military coalition is checking the circumstances of the crash, too: "We are taking a comprehensive look at the events surrounding the aircraft crash, to include the subsequent photo on Twitter and the video posted on LiveLeaks," spokesman Erin O. Stattel said via email. Base security rules forbid photography without special permission so that insurgents can't easily learn a base's pattern of life.
NTSB referred inquiries to the Afghanistan ministry, which could not immediately be reached for comment.

No remains found near suspected 9/11 airplane part
NEW YORK (AP) ? Using a pulley system and sheer brawn, police removed a suspected 9/11 plane part from between two buildings near the World Trade Center site, and the medical examiner said no potential human remains had been found there.
About a dozen officers raised the jagged, 255-pound metal piece, which contains cranks, levers and bolts from the ground. They took it over a three-story wall, lowered it into a courtyard and they carried it through the basement of a planned mosque, where it was discovered by an inspector last week.
Onlookers across the street took pictures as they heaved it onto a truck taking it to a Brooklyn police facility. The process took about two hours.
"It's a piece of history, and we tried to preserve it as best we could," said NYPD Deputy Chief William Aubry, who leads the forensic investigation division. Aubry said they didn't do any damage to the piece when they moved it.
The part was discovered a week ago, wedged in a narrow space between a luxury apartment building and the mosque that prompted a national debate about Islam and freedom of speech because it's located just blocks from the World Trade Center site. An inspector doing construction work at the mosque site noticed it from the rooftop.
Authorities believe the rusted wing part is from one of the two hijacked airliners that brought down the trade center on Sept. 11, 2001.
"It's a pretty eerie feeling known that we're here 11 years later removing that part," Aubry said.
The 5-foot piece was initially thought to be a piece of landing gear, but officials later determined it was a trailing edge flap support structure. Located close to the body of the plane, the part helps secure wing flaps that move in and out and aid in regulating speed.
Boeing officials told police the part came from one of its 767 airliners, but it isn't possible to determine which one. Both hijacked planes that struck the towers, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were Boeing 767s. American and United have had no comment.
The medical examiner's office sifted through sediment at the site for days, but found no potential human remains.
Investigators continue to recover potential human remains from the trade center construction site. About 3,000 people died in the attack, and 1,000 were never identified.

Rand Paul to endorse Mark Sanford in S.C. race
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul plans to endorse Republican nominee Mark Sanford ahead of a special election to fill the first district House seat in South Carolina, Yahoo News has confirmed.
Paul's decision to endorse Sanford comes after national Republicans all but abandoned the former South Carolina governor after his ex-wife accused him of "trespassing" on her property following a nasty divorce. The National Republican Congressional Committee, an official party group tasked with electing Republicans to the House, announced earlier this month they would stop devoting new resources to Sanford's campaign.
Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert-Busch will face of in a special election scheduled for Tuesday, May 7th.
According to a source close to the Sanford campaign, Paul will make the endorsement sometime this week. The news was first reported by Peter Hamby of CNN.
Paul, the son of former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul and a respected figure among libertarian and tea party activists in his own right, has signaled he is considering a bid for the 2016 GOP nomination. By endorsing Sanford, who remains popular among many conservatives in South Carolina, Paul is demonstrating his independence from the national party and ingratiating himself among grassroots activists in a key primary state.
Paul is planning a trip to South Carolina this summer. South Carolina holds the first presidential primary in the South and is traditionally viewed as a bellwether for how a candidate will fare in the region.

Gun control, Arizona style: Guns given to the state will be re-sold
In Arizona, guns turned in at 'buyback' events will not be destroyed but instead be sold to gun dealers, under provisions of a law signed last night by Gov. Jan Brewer.
Police officers catalog a gun buyback program in Tucson, Ariz. Arizona has essentially done away with the programs, as lawmakers stopped cities from destroying the weapons and required them to sell the guns ? part of a broader movement among gun-rights lawmakers to limit gun buybacks.
Brian Skoloff / AP
EnlargeArizona cities and counties that hold community gun buyback events will have to sell the surrendered weapons instead of destroying them under a bill Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law Monday.

The bill was championed by Republicans in the GOP-controlled Legislature who argued that municipalities were skirting a 2010 law that was tightened last year and requires police to sell seized weapons to federally licensed dealers. They argued that destroying property turned over to the government is a waste of taxpayer resources.
Democrats who argued against the bill said it usurps local control and goes against the wishes of people who turn over their unwanted weapons to keep them out of the hands of children or thieves.
Buybacks are popular among some police and elected officials who either pay cash or hand out gift cards in exchange for weapons. Tucson and other Arizona communities destroyed weapons from the events, arguing that because the guns were voluntarily surrendered, the laws concerning weapons seized by authorities didn't apply.
House Bill 2455 prompted a furious debate in the state Senate, where Democrats accused Republicans of complaining about an overbearing federal government but then turning around and dictating policies to local governments.
Brewer's office did not release any signing letter accompanying the announcement of more than 30 bill she signed Monday evening, but the Republican governor is a strong gun-rights supporter and had signed the 2010 and 2012 laws.
The governor's office said it received nearly 2,000 letters, emails or phone calls about the bill, with only 25 opposed.
One of the letters in support was from the National Rifle Association, which argued that selling seized or forfeited guns "would maintain their value, and their sale to the public would help recover public funds." The NRA letter said the bill doesn't prevent a private group from holding an event and destroying the weapons.
"However, this measure would ensure that taxpayer resources are not utilized to pursue a political agenda of destroying firearms," according to the letter, sent April 22 and signed by Brent Gardner with the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action.
Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, a Democrat who champions the buyback events and survived being shot in the buttocks at the end of a 1997 Board of Supervisors meeting, sent a letter to Brewer urging a veto.
The bill "would force the resale of guns that would otherwise never have been used for violence," she wrote. "How many lives would be lost through the use of weapons our citizens hoped to be removed from the hands of criminals?"
A second bill signed by Brewer on Monday bars cities, towns and counties from collecting or maintaining any identifying information about a person who owns or sells a firearm.

ATS publishes clinical practice guidelines on exercise-induced bronchoconstriction

American Thoracic Society
The American Thoracic Society has released new official clinical practice guidelines on the diagnosis and management of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), the acute airway narrowing that occurs as a result of exercise.
The guidelines appear in the May 1, 2013 American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. "While a large proportion of asthma patients experience exercise-induced respiratory symptoms, EIB also occurs frequently in subjects without asthma," said Jonathan Parsons, MD, associate professor of internal medicine and associate director of The Ohio State University Asthma Center and chair of the committee that drafted the statement. "To provide clinicians with practical guidance for the treatment of EIB, a multidisciplinary panel of stakeholders was convened to review the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of EIB to develop these evidence-based guidelines."
The exact prevalence of EIB among asthma patients is not known, but prevalence estimates among subjects without an asthma diagnosis are as high as 20%. Prevalence estimates among athletes are even higher, ranging between 30% and 70% for Olympic and elite-level athletes.
"Given the high prevalence of EIB, evidence-based guidelines for its management are of critical importance," said Dr. Parsons. "These new guidelines address not only the diagnosis and management of EIB but address other important issues related to EIB, including environmental triggers and special considerations in elite athletes."
Treatment recommendations in the guidelines include use of a short-acting beta-agonist before exercise in all EIB patients. For those patients who continue to have symptoms after beta-agonist treatment, the guidelines recommend use of a daily inhaled corticosteroid, a daily leukotriene receptor antagonist, or a mast cell stabilizing agent before exercise.
For all patients with EIB, the guidelines recommend that warm-up exercises be performed before planned exercise.
Known environmental triggers for EIB include cold air, dry air, ambient ozone, and airborne particulate matter. These and other environmental factors may contribute to the increased prevalence of EIB seen among competitive ice skaters, skiers, swimmers, and distance runners. Many of the treatments used to treat EIB, including beta-agonists, are banned or restricted in competitive athletics, as some are considered performance-enhancing, and treatment must be tailored according to the guidelines of the governing bodies of these sports.
"While EIB is common, there are effective treatments and preventive measures, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological," said Dr. Parsons. "The recommendations in these guidelines synthesize the latest clinical evidence and will help guide the management of EIB in patients with or without asthma and in athletes at all levels of competition."
