 DOUALA, Cameroon (AP) - Recovery teams working in the swamp where a Kenya Airways passenger jet crashed began removing bodies from the plane's submerged fuselage for the first time Thursday.
Investigators were focusing initially on the pilot's decision to take off despite predictions a thunderstorm would last up to an hour more, an official familiar with the inquiry said. The Nairobi-bound Boeing 737-800 nose-dived into a swamp seconds after taking off Saturday from an airport, killing all 114 people on board.
"Why did other planes wait for the storm to pass and not him? That's the question," said the Cameroonian official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject.
