Apparently the plane crashed shortly after takeoff, and therefore had insufficient altitude for the jumpers to exit safely. They would have had to have several hundred feet at least, to even consider getting out. If they were only at a couple hundred feet or so, they didn't have a prayer anyway. * / \ |---/---\---| Ken Scofield C-9355 | Gone | Hewlett-Packard PCD | Jumpin' | Corvallis, OR |-----------| {ucbvax!hplabs, harpo, ogcvax}!hp-pcd!kas
