Spanair temperature gauge 'must be investigated'

Spain's civil aviation chief said a glitch in an air temperature gauge that forced the doomed Spanair jet to abandon its first take-off attempt an hour before it crashed should be examined.

Manuel Bautista said a combination of failures - either technical, human or both - probably caused Wednesday's crash in Madrid, which killed 153 people, many of them children and families on holiday. Nineteen people survived.
