The Spanish airline that operated a passenger jet that crashed on Wednesday, killing 153 people, says that the plane had no known mechanical problems before it attempted to take off. A Spanair spokesman told reporters in Madrid that the pilots had aborted a previous take-off after a gauge indicated that overheated air was entering the jet.
However this problem was fixed before they tried to take off for a second time. The McDonnell-Douglas MD-82 crashed and burst into flames just seconds after becoming airborne. Only 19 people on board the plane survived, and many of them are in a critical condition. Olsen seeks Ledger immunity ...
