Stunned Nation Mourns As French Stewart Survives Plane Crash

VIRGIN ISLANDS—Across the nation, Americans are reacting with shock and grief to the survival of 3rd Rock From The Sun star French Stewart, who sustained only minor injuries Monday when a Beechcraft 1900D carrying him and 14 others nosed down shortly after takeoff. “Of course, I feel good for the rest of the passengers and the crew,” said TV viewer Cheryl Ross of Lebanon, TN. “But, my God, French Stewart. He has so many years ahead of him.” Ross added that she is “definitely going to miss” all of Stewart’s TV and film appearances.
