Investigators study cause of deadly Calif. plane crash Five killed, one injured after mysterious crash in Long Beach LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Charred debris from a plane that crashed and burned on take- off, killing five people and criti- cally injuring the survivor, was removed yesterday from the Long Beach Airport. A salvage company took the wreckage to a facility near Palm- dale where federal investigators will examine it and try to deter- mine the cause of the crash, said DIRECTORY From Page 1 and those who aren't associated with campus. "(This) identity management system... will allow the University to know who is and is not a mem- ber of the UM community so that central offices, as well as depart- ments, schools, colleges and campuses, can grant and remove access to their online resources as needed and appropriate," Witte wrote. Though the new system auto- matically displays basic identifica- tion information, Witte wrote that a student, staff or faculty member will still have a choice as to what extra information is available for viewing. "Nothing else will display unless the student chooses to dis- play it," she wrote. "It is important to note that home address and phone number will not be dis- played." However, based on the MCom- munity Governance Board's rec- ommendations, students will no longer have the opportunity to make their accounts private - an option the current directory sys- tem allows. Witte wrote that this is because MCommunity provides less information by default than Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration. The twin-engine Beechcraft King Air turboprop went down shortly after 10:30 a.m. Wednes- day just after takeoff. Witnesses said it plunged and exploded in a fireball, leaving a flaming trail for dozens of feet along a grass medi- an between two paved airport taxiways. The plane's tail was torn off along with part of the fuselage. Firefighters managed to rescue one person. Passenger Mike Jen- sen, 51, was hospitalized in critical condition. The Los Angeles County coro- ner's office identified the dead Thursday as Thomas Fay Dean,50, of Laguna Beach; Bruce Michael the current directory. "We are only sharing the basic information, which is less than we previously did," she wrote. "It is important to have the minimal information in the directory to allow faculty and staff to reach students for purposes of Univer- sity business." University-affiliates will also have the opportunity to publi- cize more information if desired, according to Witte. "Students will be able to add contact information if they wish, including their chat contact (e.g., AIM name)," she wrote. In addition to better connecting members of the campus commu- nity, the information in the new directory will enable the Univer- sity to efficiently provide com- munity members with access to computer and Internet services, Witte wrote. "This will be important as we move toward the use of Google for e-mail, for example," she wrote. "We'll need a fast, efficient way to get new students set up with Google e-mail accounts, and the new directory will be instrumen- tal in doing that." Witte wrote that the forthcom- ing directory is also vital to the functioning of NextGen Michigan - a University program aimed at advancing the institution's infor- Krall, 51, of Ladera Ranch; Jeffrey Albert Berger, 49, of Manhattan Beach; Mark Llewllyn Bixby, 44, from Long Beach; and Kenneth Earl Cruz, 43, of Culver City. Dean and Berger were promi- nent real estate developers and Bixby was a bicycle advocate, Mike Murchison, a spokesman for Dean, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. Dean owned the plane, he said. The group was flying to Park City, Utah, to go skiing, Bixby's friend, Allan Crawford, told the LongBeach Press-Telegram. Cruz was the pilot and had no record of any previous accidents or disciplinary action, according to Gregor. mation technology. "Many of the NextGen initia- tives rely on there being accurate information about members of the University community so that those people can be given access to new services that they are eligible for," Witte wrote. "The initiatives also rely, for security reasons, on accurate information about when people lose eligibility for ser- vices so that their access can be removed." Witte also wrote that the infor- mation available on MCommunity will be more accurate than that in the current directory. "Official University infor- mation, such as people's titles and affiliations, will come from official University sources (like Wolverine Access)," she wrote. "Individuals will not be able to change this information in the directory; they must update it at the source." Witte added that MCommunity will be more aesthetically pleasing and easier to use than the UMOD. "Search results will be format- ted and organized so that it is easier to skim through them and find what you want more quickly," she wrote. "It will be easier to find what you need in a person's entry - contact information will be grouped together at the top of the entry." YUJI FURUYA/AP A meeting is held by officials of Fukushima Prefecture's Emergency Response Headquarters in Fukushima, north of Tokyo on Monday, March 14. Dangerous levels of radiation are leaking from a crippled nuclear plant in Fukushima. International agency calls Japanese nuclear situation 'serious'=but 'stable' IAEA draws increased scrutiny following crisis VIENNA (AP) - The situa- tion at Japan's tsunami-stricken nuclear plant is "very serious," but at the moment does not appear to be deteriorating, a senior official of the U.N. atomic agency said yesterday. As emergency workers frantically worked to regain control of the dangerously over- heated nuclear complex, Graham Andrew told reporters "there had been no significant worsening" over the past 24 hours at the crip- pled plant. Andrew, a senior aide to Inter- national Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano, emphasized that the situation could change quickly, either improving or esca- lating into a wider catastrophe. "It hasn't gotten worse, which is positive, But it is still possible that it could get worse," he said. "We could say it's reasonably stable at the moment compared to yesterday." Andrew appeared to be the first senior IAEA official to say that the situation has not sig- nificantly deteriorated since the agency began briefings Mon- day. On Wednesday, Amano had described the situation as "very serious," adding "it is difficult to say" if events were spinning out of control. Andrew spoke shortly after Amano flew to Tokyo to assess efforts to fight the nuclear havoc unleashed by the massive earth- quake and tsunami that hit Japan's northeastern coast Fri- day. It was unclear what Amano hoped to accomplish during his one-day trip; he has said he plans to stay in Tokyo and meet with government officials but he had no agenda or scheduled meetings before takeoff from Vienna inter- national airport. "We don't have a fixed sched- ule and don't have all the infor- mation so we will be thinking on our feet," Amano told reporters assembled in the departure hall. Still, he suggested his trip was symbolically important as his home country wrestles with its worst nuclear crisis since the bombing of Hiroshima and Naga- saki 66 years ago. "Japan is not alone, the inter- national community is standing by Japan," Amano declared. "We have lots of offers of assistance to Japan and I would like to convey this message to them." In Japan, military helicopters dumped loads of sea water onto the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant yesterday as they tried to cool overheated uranium fuel that may be on the verge of spewing out more radiation. As the crisis unfolds in Japan, the IAEA has been under increased scrutiny as to whether it has done enough to increase the safety culture in the nuclear reac- tor industry. A U.S. Embassy cable from three years ago on the WikiLeaks website published yesterday by Britain's "The Guardian" daily cited criticism of Tomihiro Tam- niguchi a senior IAEA official in charge of nuclear safety and security, who stepped down two years ago. It described him as a "weak manager ... particularly with respect to confronting Japan's own safety practices." The IAEA declined comment, and officials at yesterday's brief- ing sidestepped specific ques- tions on how the agency's safety recommendations applied to the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant. But while conceding the enormity of the Japan disaster, Andrew defended the "enviable safety record" of the nuclear sec- tor in terms of deaths compared to "other ways of creating energy."
