Trap

Oceanside, Calif, was the scene of the worst airplane disaster in U. S. history three years ago: 16 persons died in the crash of a coastwise transport. Last week Death again raked the skies over Oceanside. A big Army bomber was roaring down to Rockwell Field, San Diego. Over Oceanside something went wrong. Persons on the ground heard a loud bang, looked up in time to see the bomber's thick wing flop off into space. Like an enormous bird winged by a huntsman, the fuselage plummeted into a pasture, killed its seven occupants. Investigators found that when the wing sheared off, its remnants blocked the plane's escape hatch, trapped the crew.
