Lone Survivor Of
Two-Plane Crash
Dies of Injuries
NEW YORK ifft—Stephen Baltz,
11 -year-old lone survivor of the
double plane crash over New
York Friday, died at 1 p. m. Sat
urday of his injuries.
Methodist Hospital said the main
cause of his death was extensive
flame damage in his lungs.
Stephen’s death brought the
collision toll to 137 persons. All
passengers and crews of the
United Air Lines plane and the
TWA Super Constellation which
collided were killed. Nine persons
on the ground where the United
plane crashed in Brooklyn also
were killed.
For young Stephen the jet
flight from Chicago had been his
first airplane trip alone. He was
flying to New York to join his
mother and sister on a holiday
visit with relatives.
Stephen’s day started at 5:45
a. m. Friday when he awakened
at his home in the Chicago sub
urb of Willmette, 111.
He ran in and shook his father
awake. Baltz might have gone
back to sleep, but he knew how
excited his son was and how he
was looking forward to the trip.
The lad had been ill and stayed
home when his mother and sister
flew to Sew York Wednesday.
Stephen didn’t eat much for
breakfast, said the family maid,
Pearl Belue, known to the three
Baltz children as “Lady Blue.”
He just sat there and grinned, she
said.
Stephen’s father took him to the
airport and put him on the big
United Air Lines DC8 bound for
New York.
“I remember looking out the
plane window at the snow below
covering the city," Stephen said
later from his hospital bed. “It
looked like a picture out of a
fairy book. It was a beautiful
sight.
“Then all Of a sudden there was
an explosion. The plane started
to fall, and people started to
scream.
“I held onto my seat, and then
the plane crashed. That’s all I
remember.”
