Seattle, Nov. 18 (jT> — A non-
scheduled airliner, its engines
sputtering at is left an icy run-
i Way, crashed into a residential
area early today, killing at least
j 27 persons and injuring 46 others
as it explode^. and burned.
The big Peninsular Air Trans-
port Co. plane was loaded with
66 servicemen who bad just re-
turned from the Far East and
were trying to get home for
Thanksgiving. Also aboard were
a man, woman, two cniiaren and
a crew of four.
The plane first clipped a tree
on a hibside south of its Boeing
Held takeoff point, bounced off
the ground and shattered as it
burst into flames. Parts of it skid-
ded into the back of a house and
set it afire but a young mother
and her five children inside es-
caped unharmed. „
J ‘arts of it broke up in the yard
of Mrs. Donald Kenard, who said
| she heard a “terrific explosion.
| The next minute my yard was
| full yf soldiers.” -—-— ■ j-
j Bodies of the dead, dying and
i injured were strewn about.
' Flames fed by gasoline which had
spewed from full tanks roared in-
to thb air. Some of the soldiers
streamed into Mrs. Renard’s
house as she opened the door.
Some were badly hurt. Several
had burned hands and burned
clothing.
Within seconds calls were out
for every available ambulance ip
Seattle and King County bift
their arrival was slow'ed by the
ice and snow-covered streets.
When the ambulances arrived,
dozens of the soldiers were wan-
dering or lying about the wreck
scene, some in a state of shock,
others needing only minor treat-
ment. Charred bodies were scat-
tered through the still burning
wreckage and it was some time
before firemen could dampen the
flames.
Three hours after the crash,
which occurred at 12:02, Pacific
Time, the county coroner report-
ed 27 bodies had been recovered.
A check of local hospitals found
46 survivors, most of them in fair
or better condition.
Coroner John Brill reported
his staff thought there were more
amount of rain.
A great deal is needed to elimi-
nate the drouth conditions, but
light rains may tide the crops over
until heavier rains develop, it was
pointed out.
The seriousness of the current
drouth was further aggravated by
recent high winds, which dried
out the county’s soil still more.
Black reported that stock tanks
of the area are lower than normal
for this time of year but that the
situation here is not yet serious by
any means.
“September rains filled most
tanks around here,” he declared,
“and most stockmen still are not
pinched for stock water.”
