[0:29] An American Airlines jet crashes in the
[0:31] Colombian mountains and there are
[0:33] survivors.
[0:35] In Washington, the budget negotiations
[0:36] are back on again
[0:38] for now.

[0:48] From ABC, this is World News Tonight
[0:51] with Peter Jennings. Good evening.
[0:53] Another airline flight number has gone
[0:55] into the disaster book, American
[0:56] Airlines flight 965.
[0:59] The wreckage of 965 is scattered across
[1:01] a mountainside near Cali, Colombia
[1:03] today. The area is extremely remote. It
[1:06] took the rescue teams hours to get in.
[1:08] We now believe that more than 150 people
[1:10] were killed, but as many as 17 survived.
[1:14] The plane had left Miami last night. The
[1:16] crew was experienced. The night was
[1:18] clear.
[1:19] First in Cali, ABC's Mike Von Frem.
[1:23] The plane went down on this mountain
[1:25] top, 12,000 ft high, in a remote forest
[1:28] 50 mi north of the city of Cali. A
[1:31] farmer who says he saw the plane crash
[1:33] says it was flying very low before it
[1:36] hit the mountain top, bursting into
[1:38] flame.
[1:39] The wreckage cut a wide swath through
[1:41] the dense forest and little remains.
[1:43] Yet, there are survivors. Rescue workers
[1:46] were airlifting survivors into the
[1:48] soccer stadium.
[1:50] The first to be brought in was this
[1:52] 19-year-old student returning from the
[1:54] University of Michigan to
