MADRID, Spain -- A jetliner heading to the Canary Islands crashed during takeoff Wednesday, turning a wooded area off the end of a runway into a hellish scene of charred bodies and smoldering wreckage.

At least 153 people are believed to be dead in Spain's worst air disaster in nearly 25 years. Only 19 of the plane's 172 passengers survived the midafternoon crash at Madrid's Barajas International Airport, and some were in critical condition, an official said.

It wasn't immediately clear what went wrong. The jetliner had barely gotten airborne when it veered right, crashed and broke into pieces.

As smoke billowed from the wreckage, dozens of fire trucks and ambulances rushed to help. Helicopters flew over dumping water on fires. Rescuers rushed the few survivors to hospitals while emergency workers shrouded the dead in white sheets.

FAY FLOODS HUNDREDS OF HOMES: Emergency crews launched airboats into submerged streets Wednesday to rescue central Florida residents trapped by rising floodwaters from a stalled Tropical Storm Fay, which soaked the state for a third day.

Officials reported flooding in hundreds of homes in Brevard and St. Lucie counties, some by up to 5 feet of standing water. In three towns, rising waters backed up sewage systems. Gov. Charlie Crist requested an emergency disaster declaration from the federal government to defray rising debris and response costs.

OHIO CONGRESSWOMAN DIES: Democratic U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress and a strong critic of the Iraq war, died Wednesday after a brain hemorrhage, a hospital spokeswoman said.
