There were no survivors of the crash of a U.S. Air Force transport plane into the Caribbean off the northern coast of Honduras, the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa confirmed. Twenty-one American servicemen, including two lieutenant colonels, died in the crash of the C-130. Bad weather hampered the search for bodies and wreckage about 500 yards offshore near Puerto Trujillo, where the cargo plane was scheduled to land.
