Plane crash in Dallas the names of the people on board this flight were identified this morning.  also, the flight recorder, at 12 secs in, mentions problems with the left engine.  if there were engine problems, wouldn't they have been found during the preflight check?  the ntsb didn't mention anything nefarious could have happened.  an interesting thing I saw: a photo of omella ellard, one of the victims, if of her with her hair covering one of her eyes.  this pose has been popular with celebrities, as shown on many magazine covers.
