Subject: ALASKAN FLIGHT 261, 9 minutes extra!
Alaska Airlines Flight 261

Paul Harvey would call this "the rest of the story..."

Recently some incredible news has been learned regarding the
last few minutes of Alaska Airlines flight 261, before it crashed the end
of January, 2000.  A man related last week that he talked with an Alaska
Airlines pilot who is involved in the investigation of the crash of Alaska
Flight 261. The pilot has listened to the cockpit voice recorder
from the downed plane and reported that for the last 9 minutes of the
flight, the wife of the pastor from Monroe, Washington can be heard
sharing the Gospel with the passengers over the airplane's intercom
system. (The pastor and his wife were returning from a Mexico mission
trip.)  Just before the final dive into the Pacific Ocean, she can be
heard leading the sinners prayer for salvation! The pilot also told John
that the flight data recorder from the plane indicates that there is no
good explanation for the plane remaining in the air for those final 9
minutes. But it did remain in the air until the pastor's wife finished
sharing the Gospel and presumably lead many to Christ in those final
moments.   (I haven't heard this in the media.  Have you?)
