...victims were burned to death. Thus, the CAB recommended that the 727's fuel lines, which run through the craft's belly to the three rear-mounted engines, be relocated to withstand the shock of a crash landing. In, both cases, CAB investigators found evidence that synthetic cabin material such as soundproofing, when exposed to fire and soaked by jet kerosene fuel or hydraulic fluid, may exude deadly gases; survivors of the Salt Lake City crash reported that fumes "seared and burned" their lungs.

Within minutes Dr. Louis Battey, an Augusta cardiologist, was at his side. He gave Eisenhower a pain-relieving drug, nitroglycerin tablets to dilate the coronary arteries, and some oxygen. The pains were intense for 30 minutes...
...Pompano, Fla.-and a crew of 174, the cruise ship headed out on her twice-weekly, overnight run to Nassau. By midnight most of the passengers had gone to bed. At 1 a.m., 120 miles east of Miami, many were awakened by the smell of smoke seeping under their cabin doors.
