BUENA VISTA, Colo. — A rock slide killed five hikers and injured a sixth as it demolished a popular beginners trail below one of Colorado's most photographed mountains, causing so much destruction that rescuers had to wait a day to recover the victims' bodies.

The Monday morning slide sent 100-ton boulders onto a viewing area to see Agnes Vaille falls in Chalk Creek Canyon below Mount Princeton, a 14,197-foot peak. Five hikers were killed, and a teenage girl was left with a broken leg and other injuries. She was rescued and flown to a Denver hospital.

Witnesses said some of the boulders were the size of cars.

Rescuers planned to wait until Tuesday afternoon to remove the bodies of the five who were killed, said Chaffee County department spokeswoman Monica Broaddus.

The recovery was called off Monday evening because rocks continued to shift when the coroner counted the fatalities, Broaddus said.

There was no immediate identification of the victims or whether they were a single group. A female hiker who heard the slide ran down the trail and called for help, said Chaffee County Undersheriff John Spezze.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — The pilot reported no mechanical trouble with a private jet from Idaho before it crashed in a hangar and burst into flames while landing at a Southern California airport, federal investigators said.“There was no communication with the pilot indicting there's a problem with the aircraft at any time during the flight,” Van McKenny, lead investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board, said Monday, a day after the twin-engine Cessna 525A crashed at Santa Monica Airport after taking off from Hailey, Idaho.Two cranes ordered by investigators arrived Monday to lift the wrecked building off the plane before they tried to retrieve remains and the cockpit voice recorder, McKenny said.
