A United DC-10 737 jetliner has crashed in Colorado. Twenty passengers and a crew of five died as the plane nosedived to earth while traveling from Denver to Colorado Springs. This is the third crash of a United jet in three years. In July, 1988 a United Airlines crashed in Sioux City, Iowa with 110 fatalities, after an engine broke apart in flight. In February, 1989, the cargo door on a United Boeing 747 opened in flight, ripping a hole in the fuselage. Nine people were killed. Wind shear is suspected in the latest crash.
