Residents of Kikuyu, Kenya, inspect the wreckage of a Cessna 206 that crashed Thursday, injuring Richard Leakey, director of the Kenya Wildlife Service. "He is going to be fine," Leakey's wife, Meave, said by telephone from a Nairobi Hospital. The 48-year-old Leakey suffered two broken legs. Leakey, the son of famed paleontologists Louis and Mary Leakey, was piloting the single-engine craft with four passengers when it developed mechanical problems and crashed near Kikuyu, a rural town 15 miles northwest of Nairobi.
