Shattered homes and wreckage mark the site of a disaster from the skies. 23 neighborhood residents in northeast Wichita, Kansas and 7 crewmen died when a tanker plane crashed shortly after take-off. 10 children were among the dead and 200 people had their homes destroyed or damaged. The cause of the disaster may never be known. A neighborhood scene that resembles a war zone. Homes and cars are totally destroyed. A house that has been totally smashed to the ground smoldering, inspectors walking around. An agent looking at the remains of a car, the back fender and rear tire. Firemen spraying their hoses on the smoldering remains of a home. The framed out remains of a burnt out house. Firemen digging around the ashes of a home. Two men carrying the remains of a body. MS - Homes burnt out, nothing left but some frame work. | |
