Auto Accidents Not Only
Cause of Whiplash
BY DR. STANLEY B. LEVINE
Doctor of Chiropractic
After the sounds of screeching brakes and grinding metal have died
away, the first thought following an auto accident is of injury. But if
there are no broken bones or blood, the victims' attentions usually turn
to damage to the vehicles involved.
Assuming you are uninjured just because everything appears to be
all right is a common mistake. Every accident victim should arrange
for an examination to insure that they have not incurred a whiplash
neck injury. Symptoms may not appear for hours, days or even weeks
after the accident, yet the damage will have been done following the
instant of impact.
Another mistaken assumption is that auto accidents or simi-
larly clear-cut, recognizable accidents are the only
cause of whiplash. While they are the major cause,
they are by no means the only one.
Falls, blows to the head or neck, attempting to
maintain your balance on a slippery sidewalk and
even turning your head too quickly can produce a
whiplash injury. When the symptoms appear later,
you may not even associate the headache, tension,
muscle spasms, stiff neck or restricted neck motion
with the incident that caused them.

Other symptoms of whiplash include blackouts,

fatigue, extreme nervousness, loss of balance, loss
of hearing, ringing in the ears, nausea, gastro-intestinal pains, light-
headedness, cold hands or feet, excessive sweating, increased reaction
to drugs, poor memory, eye strain and rapid heart beating. Of course,
these symptoms might not all be present in a particular case and their
presence does not necessarily mean that you have suffered a whiplash.
Only a thorough examination can reveal that.
I urge everyone who has been in an auto accident or who has suf-
fered a fall or blow to contact a Doctor of Chiropractic and arrange
for an examination as quickly as possible. Time is on your side only
if you act promptly in the case of whiplash. To delay can open the door-
way to a lifetime of suffering.

were probably hiding in the grass off to the
right 10 yards away. If we had looked that
way. . ." he said with a shudder as his voice
trailed off.
It was Schenkel and ABC that made
this a worldwide drama. Approximately
900 million people would watch as the ter-
rorists and police negotiated throughout
the day and into the night. One of the peo-
ple who was instrumental in providing up-
to-date information was John Wilcox, an
ABC producer in Munich. Wilcox was noti-
fied of the events at around 7 a.m. and im-
mediately went to Building 31.
"(Peter) Jennings and (Howard) Cosell
were in the Village and some camera teams
were there. At one point, they (the police)
said that no one but athletes were allowed
in," said Wilcox. "So, I commandeered a
United States athlete in uniform, took an
athletic bag, put in my film equipment, and
got in."
Wilcox then went to the building direct-
ly adjacent to where the Israelis were be-
ing held. He was able to look out of a
sliding glass door and see "the guy with
the machine gun, 25 feet away. I could see
more than the Arabs could." Wilcox made
several reports and kept on filming
throughout the day, getting several
memorable camera shots, including a chill-
ing close-up of a terrorist in a white mask,
peering over a balcony with his rifle.
Meanwhile, the drama at 31 Connally-
strasse kept building. The Israeli Govern-
ment refused to negotiate or release any
prisoners. They gave the German author-
ities full responsibility for any rescue
actions and did not object to letting the
terrorists out of the country with the
hostages, as long as they had guarantees
that the hostages would be set free.
Amazingly, while the negotiations con-
tinued, so did the Games. This was due
primarily to the strong will of Avery Brun-
dage, the 84-year-old president of the
International Olympic Committee, who in-
sisted that there be no interruption. By the
early afternoon, though, the IOC voted to
suspend the Games, stipulating that events
in progress be allowed to finish. So as late
as 5 p.m., twelve hours after the ordeal had
begun, a volleyball game between Russia
and Poland was going on less than 100
yards from the Israeli building.
had been killed and the Israelis had
escaped.
Lou Cioffi, who was ABC's Bureau
Chief in Bonn, went out to the airport ex-
pecting to see a joyful scene after hearing
that the hostages were freed. "I went to the
field, to get pictures of the kids coming
back," said Cioffi, now ABC's United Na-
tions bureau chief. "(A few minutes later)
we saw this flash, it looked like an explo-
sion and we later learned it was the
helicopter (with the Israelis inside). Then,
we were walking across this dark, dark
field and suddenly I heard that un-
mistakable sound of bullets coming right
over my head and I realized
something was wrong and we all hit the
deck."
Something was wrong. The Israelis had
not escaped, the terrorists were alive, and
a two-hour battle ensued during which the
police managed to kill five of the Arabs and
capture the other three. But during the bat-
tle, the terrorists threw a grenade into one
helicopter holding five Israelis, killing all
of them, and shot to death the other four
in another helicopter. All nine were dead.
The incident triggered a deadly cycle of

raids in Lebanon and Syria the next day,

The German police, stalling for time,
managed to delay the terrorists' deadlines
several times during the day. The police
strategy, after much deliberation, was to fly
the terrorists to an air base at
Furstenfeldbruck, 15 miles away, shortly
after 10 p.m., to a waiting Lufthansa 727
and attempt an assault on the terrorists
there.
Throughout the day, the police had
believed there were five terrorists and so
had stationed five snipers. But when the
terrorists brought the hostages out into a
waiting bus to go to the airport, the police
were shocked to find eight terrorists. Still,
after the group was flown to the air base,
there were news reports that the terrorists
