Only One Dead
From Two Pacific
Ocean Crashes
MANILA, l/P) — Two airliners
carrying a total of 88 persons
crashed almost simultaneously in
Philippine waters at opposite ends
if the island chain before dawn
Thursday. An Ohio woman was
killed. All the others survived.
First, a Philippine Airlines
DC3 ditched near Dumaguete, off
Negros Island in the south. Bad
weather had prevented its sched
uled landing at Zamboanga City
on a flight from Manila, and the
plane ran out of gas. The passen
gers and 3 crewmen all reached
shore safely.
Eight minutes later a crippled
Northwest Orient Airlines DC7C,
its left wing afire, ditched off the
Polillo Islands 85 miles northwest
of Manila with 5°, pcsor:'. The
plane sank in seven minutes.
U.S. military amphibious planes
picked up the 57 survivors and
the woman’s body and brought
them to Manila.
The airliner had been approach
ing Manila as its final stop in a
flight from New York via Seat
Anchorage, Tokyo and Okin
awa.
The passengers were shoeless,
in wet clothes, and some were
still clinging to lifebelts. But
most were in good spirits and full
| of praise for Pilot David Rail of
i Seattle and six members of his
crew.
