Federal investigator check DIA crash site

Federal investigators spent hours on the wreckage site of Continental Airlines Flight 1404 at the Denver International Airport to find out reasons behind the crash of the flight that caught fire before takeoff.

The plane was deviating away from centerline and it traveled almost 2000 feet off the runway with a speed of 87 to 90 knots and then it dropped on the north side of the taxi way. Investigators are interviewing crew members and attendants of the flight.
