Switzerland - Relatives of air crash arrive

(4 Sep 1998) T/I: 10:21:29


Scores of grieving relatives of victims of the Swissair 111 disaster gathered at Geneva airport on Friday (4/9) preparatory to being flown to Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada later in the day on a specially chartered Airbus. The weeping relatives were ushered into a special centre that had been specially set up for them. Grief counsellors did their best to console the distraught people. Meanwhile, officials declined to speculate about the cause of the crash, the worst in Swiss aviation history, but said there was no reason at this point to suspect terrorism.
