Radar may reveal piece falling from Alaska Airlines plane Knight-Ridder Tribune Radar that tracked Alaska Airlines Flight 261 may show a piece of the aircraft falling from the plane shortly before it crashed, sources say. It was impossible to tell the size of the piece.
Radar is sensitive enough to pick up objects as small as a briefcase.
The radar tracked the object until it fell into the ocean about four miles from where Flight 261 crashed. Investigators suspect that it came from the tail section of the aircraft just before it flipped and tumbled 17,000 feet into the Pacific Ocean on Jan. 31, killing all 88 people on board. The airplane was being prepared for an emergency landing in Los Angeles after the crew reported the horizontal stabilizer was jammed. It had departed from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and was scheduled to stop in San Francisco and Seattle. By making small adjustments to the stabilizer using switches on the pilot's control wheel, the plane can be trimmed in such a way that it is easier to fly.
