| Description: | Sky Spills Death: Five Die as Plane Hits NY Borough For the fifth time in four months, death strikes from the skies in the metropolitan area of New York City. A C-46 cargo plane carrying a cargo of flowers and lingerie plummets down onto a house in Queens, killing five persons and injuring scores. Scenes of the aftermath. Smoldering single-family home. People walking amid wreckage in a neighborhood. Clothing (which was cargo) hanging from trees. Tangled wreck of a car. More destruction of homes. Sad shots of medical personnel at hospital, tending to the injured: doctor examines bandaged hand of patient, nurse with another woman in hospital bed. Tragedy. | |
