[0:36] >> This is the CBS Evening News
[0:39] with Dan Rather.
[0:42] Good evening. Dan is on assignment
[0:43] tonight. I'm John Roberts. Another plane
[0:45] crash today, the second involving a
[0:47] cargo plane in just 8 days. This time a
[0:50] DC-8 owned by Fine Air came down just
[0:53] outside Miami International Airport
[0:55] shortly after takeoff. It spewed
[0:57] wreckage and flaming debris in a
[0:59] warehouse district and hit some cars
[1:01] along the way. On board the plane, a
[1:03] crew of three and one security guard. No
[1:06] known survivors. Two minor injuries

[1:43] is still under investigation. The
[1:45] plane's two black boxes have been
[1:47] recovered. In Washington, first results
[1:49] are in from the black boxes recovered
[1:51] from the Korean Air 747 crash on Guam.
[1:55] CBS News aviation correspondent Bob Orr
[1:57] has the readout on that for us, Bob.
[1:59] John, investigators are growing
[2:00] increasingly convinced that the crash of
[2:02] Korean Air flight 801 was caused in fact
[2:05] by a pilot error.
[2:07] CBS News has learned that the black
[2:08] boxes have revealed nothing at all to
