Marines face hearing on fatal Italian accident

Two Marine Corps crewmen face a military tribunal this week investigating an accident in which their surveillance jet severed lift cables at an Italian ski resort, killing 20 skiers and straining relations between the two countries. In the first of two military court proceedings scheduled in the case, two Marine airmen manning the rear seats of the surveillance jet are expected to argue they had no control over the streaking aircraft during the fateful low-level training mission, their attorneys said. Military prosecutors allege the EA-6B Prowler was flying too low and too fast Feb. 3 when it severed two gondola cables at a ski resort near Cavalese, Italy.
