B-47 Gas Tank Drops,
Cremates Arizona Woman
TUCSON, Ariz., LPt — A woman
riding a bicycle died in a pillar
of fire Monday when a B47 fuel
tank fell like a bomb and
exploded.
The victim was June A. David,
32-year-old mother of two boys.
Officer Clifford Smith said the
woman was sucked into a fiery
column that shot 250 to 300 feet
high. Her incinerated body was
found 40 fleet from the bicycle.
The tanki laden with 1,750 gal
lons of fuel, fell as the plane rose
■from Davis Monthan AFB. Smith
said it exploded on impact and
spread a fiery carpet 675 feet
long and 352 feet wide.
Even as a probe began, Air
Force investigators praised the
pilot for averting a greater tra
gedy. They said Capt. Donald R.
Schilling, commander of the four
man crew, kept the fuel tank from
falling in a densely populated
| Tucson suburb only by putting
the plane into a steep bank.
