Hawaii Crash Search Resumes

Bobbie Bailey told her husband, son and daughter-in-law she wouldn't be joining them on a sightseeing plane trip around the Big Island.

Fearful of flying, Mrs. Bailey told the group to go on without her.

They never returned: Her loved ones were among 10 people killed in a fiery weekend crash high on Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano.

"I waved and told them `Bye,' and told them, `Now you guys be careful and have fun.'" Mrs. Bailey said Monday. "They all had smiles on their faces, said, `We will.'"

"So they left without me. And...they still left without me," she said.

The National Transportation Safety Board was investigating what caused the Big Island Air twin-engine plane to smash nearly 2 miles up on the active volcano during Saturday's around-the-island tour.

Rangers from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park sifted through the wreckage of the Piper Navajo Chieftain plane early Monday, finding the 10th body amid the charred ruins of Hawaii's worst air tour disaster in a quarter century.

A team of seven NTSB specialists, covering every area from engineering to counseling, were involved in the investigation, said John Hammerschmidt of the NTSB.

The agency hoped to get two investigators to the crash site Monday afternoon, but were stopped by poor weather conditions 9,800 feet up the volcano. They were to try again Tuesday.

Also involved in the probe are representatives of Piper Aircraft Co., which manufactures the plane, and Lycoming Corp., which makes the plane's engine.

The crash has shattered the clean record of the tour company and the lives of many people dealing with the tragedy, reports Correspondent Will Tran of CBS Affiliate KGMB-TV.

The plane was not carrying a flight data recorder since federal law does not require one for sightseeing planes, Hammerschmidt said. A global positioning system onboard might contain some useful data.

Those killed included David Bailey Sr., 55; David Bailey Jr., 27; and his wife, Dana, 26. All three were from San Jose, Calif.

Other victims identified so far include pilot Dennis O'Leary, of Kentucky; Wade Abac of Hawaii; Hank Risley, 53, who ran New Hampshire's prison system; and Risley's stepmother, Norah Risley, 71.

The rugged terrain of Mauna Loa makes air tours popular.

The crash seemed to have little effect Monday on the air tour industry, which provides rides to 400,000 people a year in Hawaii.

"I haven't had one cancellation due to that," said Wendy Hart oIsland Hoppers, which offers nine daily plane tours. "We've had questions, but no cancellations."
