| Description: | New Carrier Burns In Brooklyn navy yard, an accident during construction work on the 'Constellation' turns the navy's biggest, newest, aircraft carrier into a grisly holocaust. Of 4,200 aboard, most are saved in a massive, heroic rescue operation, but at least 50 are believed dead, and an unknown number trapped in the inferno below the ship's red-hot deck plates. Firemen with hoses, rescue in progress. Stretcher being carried by both workers and firemen. | |
