The World - News from Jan. 6, 1985
A team of Bolivian climbers fighting high winds and snow reached the wreckage of an Eastern Airlines jet roughly 20,000 feet up Illimani mountain and reported finding no survivors of the crash, the airline said. The Boeing 727 carrying 29 people, eight of them Americans, crashed last Tuesday, minutes before it was to land at La Paz airport from Asuncion, Paraguay. Among the Americans aboard was Marian Davis, wife of the U.S. ambassador to Paraguay, and William Kelly, director of the Peace Corps in Paraguay.
