		I don't remember much about Jane Dornacker, other than the fact that she was the newscopter chick on the station who reported in during the show, and that there was a lot of joking around and banter between she and Joey Reynolds.
		Jane Dornacker was doing another one of her traffic reports.
		I don't remember too well, but I think they were speculating that she had been trapped in the copter by her seatbelt, and this is why she died and the pilot (who didn't have a seatbelt on at the time of the crash) managed to survive.

	LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
		The only time I saw Dornacker was during some feminist get-together at the Herbst Theatre, where Dornacker poked fun at Gloria Steinem, who revealed herself to be nice enough, albeit utterly humorless.
		Jane was a delightful person to listen to, and when I started college in New York City in the fall of 1986, I was happy to discover that she had moved there, too -- a bit of home coming to me over the airwaves.
		The accident was a horrible shock, and I felt terrible for her daughter, made so real by Jane's sweet ''rise and shine's.'' I've always wondered what became of her.

	In New Jersey .... Hit the water! Hit the water! Hit the water!
		Many in New York were excited about the Mets' first appearance in the Fall Classic since 1969, but the excitement of many radio listeners was tempered that Wednesday afternoon as a live traffic report on WNBC 66 went horribly wrong.
		At 4:44 that afternoon, during a live report from Jane Dornacker, the N-Copter's transmission disengaged, causing the engine to race while the rotors stalled and plunging the helicopter into the Hudson River.
		Dornacker's last words over the air, catching stunned listeners (as well as WNBC afternoon man Joey Reynolds) off-guard, were, "Hit the water!" Although the copter did hit the water, Dornacker was killed in the crash.

	The Stand-In Movie, Review, Cast for The Stand-In \| TVGuide.com
		The Stand-In Danny Glover, in a film he made in San Francisco before becoming better known, is featured as an independent filmmaker who accidentally kills a rude and crude biker (Bob Sarlatte).
		To cover up the crime, he assumes the biker's identity while two friends (Jane Dornacker, Marc Hayashi) are shown in "documentary" footage, commenting on their friend's unusual situation.
		This movie has spunk and inventiveness, but the single joke that sustains its concept is dragged on too long.
