...Salt Lake City wreck, most of the 43 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. As a result, the CAB called...
...stationed at Thai airbases near Takhli and Ubon, while sleek RF-101 Voodoos fly from Udorn on reconnaissance missions above the Laotian part of the Ho Chi Minh Trail (TIME, Dec. 17). Gaily colored Thai trucks rumble by night up the U.S.-built Friendship Highway lugging bombs and jet fuel to the bases. New, laterite-surfaced "security roads" run up to Thailand's northern borders, providing ready access for Thai counterinsurgency forces and routes for any future U.S. buildup aimed at turning North Viet Nam's western flank. From Nakhon Phanom, a U.S. air-sea rescue team flies...
...week's end, viewers saw a nearly identical telecast as Borman and Lovell-despite bouts of trouble with thrusters and fuel cells-splashed down only 7.6 miles from their planned impact point, winning a bet made with Schirra and Stafford that they would land closest to the target. There was one notable difference. After a 330-hour, 5.7 million-mile journey, the Gemini 7 astronauts were understandably anxious to leave their cramped quarters as soon as possible. Shortly after they opened their hatches, they were hoisted aboard a helicopter and flown to the deck of the Wasp. Though...
Only a few minor troubles marred the otherwise perfect flight. A fuel-cell warning light flashed on, but the cell itself appeared to be operating perfectly. The astronauts were unable to spot another light-a laser beam projected from a station in Hawaii-and thus could not conduct a planned laser voice-communications experiment. Astronaut Borman also sheepishly reported that a urine-sample bag had come apart in his hand...
...been worsening despite rising productivity and the board's leading role in applying automation techniques to mines. Like coal industries elsewhere, the board suffers from the increased efficiency of rival energy products: oil, natural gas and nuclear power; coal now supplies only 65% of Britain's fuel needs v. 90% in 1950. The N.C.B.'s operating costs have risen steadily, yet the government has forced the board to hold the price line. Its wages are pegged to an obsolete piece-rate system, its mines are worked out, and unemployment insurance has suspiciously increased absenteeism...
