INCIDENTS

90-26 - Chickamauga-Chattanooga (Georgia) - Falling Fatality

At about 2:30 on the afternoon of the 3rd, M.C., 38, of Chattanooga,
apparently lost his balance and fell 70 feet from the top of Sunset
Rock. M.C. was visiting the park with his sister at the time of the
incident. An investigation into the circumstances leading to M.C.'s
death is underway. (John Cissell, CR, CHCH, via CompuServe message from
RAD/SERO, 9 a.m. EST, 3/5/90).

90-27 - Lake Clark (Alaska) - Eruption of Mt. Redoubt

Mt. Redoubt erupted again early yesterday, spreading ash over parts of
the Iditarod Sled Dog Race trail and on towns on the Kenai Peninsula
south of Anchorage. The plume of ash from the volcano reached 40,000
feet, and wind carried the ash hundreds of miles away to northeast
Alaska. The water level of the Drift River increased after the eruption
from volcanic debris spilling down the mountain into the river channel,
but no flooding was reported at the Drift River oil terminal 20 miles
from the mountain. (United Press report by Jeff Berliner, 3/5/90).
