Marine Jet
Crashes Train
Without Fatality
EL TORO, Calif., UPi — A jet
fighter plane overshot an airfield
and crashed on railroad tracks on
Wednesday. Seconds later, a sev
en-car passenger train plowed into
the plane.
The train sent the jet cartwheel
ing through the air. The plane
came to rest against a lounge car
containing 30 passengers. Jet fuel
exploded in flames.
The locomotive and four cars
were derailed. Three sections of
track were torn up. But no one
was seriously injured.
The plane’s pilot, who suffered
only bruises, was the most seri
ously hurt.
“I’d say the Good Lord had his
arm around a lot of people,” said
a spokesman at the El Toro Ma
rine Corps Air Station, where the
jet was practicing landings.
Hero of the near-disaster was
Pat Schamber, ibrakeman on the
Santa Fe’s San Diegan, bound to
San Diego from Los Angeles with
130 passengers and crew.
He dragged the stunned pilot,
Marine 2nd Lt. Phillip M.
Schmidt, 23, from the wreckage.
When they were about 50 feet
away the F4D Skyray burst into
flames.
Schmidt, practicing a power-off
landing, overshot a steel cable
across the runway on which the
plane was to hook. The jet
bounced over an 8-foot fence,
streaked across a beanfield,
sheared off a power pole and
slammed onto the railroad tracks.
The train was approaching at
75 miles an hour.
“I saw nothing but a cloud of
dust on the tracks about 250 feet
ahead of me,” said engineer Wil
liam Ryder 63. “I put on the emer
gency brake. Two or three sec
onds later came the impact. It
took another 125 yards to bring
the train to a halt.”
