Spain mourns air crash victims
Aug 21 - Grieving relatives and medical staff are trying to identify the badly burned bodies of 153 Spanish air crash victims.
Airline officials declined to comment on possible causes of the crash but said that Spanair Flight JK5022 had been delayed due to a problem with the heating system of the air intake before it attempted a second takeoff for its flight to Las Palmas in the Canary Islands.
The government said only 19 people of the 166 passengers and six crew aboard survived the MD-82 jet crash -- Spain's worst aviation disaster since 1983.
