Newsreel? That was the Hindenburg you saw there. Oh, the humanity! But it really was a nasty storm they were flying in. From the TV footage, it's hard to tell whether they were trying to come down, or whether a down-draft drove them down, but they hit hard and the crew was trapped inside the wreckage, briefly. Apparently they were unhurt, however, so that's the good news. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Witnesses said the aircraft came down tail first. Apparently they were trying to climb.

What was a blimp doing flying in a thunderstorm? Jose -- "Never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps its brain." (chapter 10 of book 3 - Harry Potter). for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
