...when a quick-thinking teacher made a tourniquet from a rag and a chunk of the fallen metal. Another youngster's abdomen was ripped open by a piece of flying metal. When the debris settled and the screams were stilled, three boys were dead or dying, 78 others hurt. Dead also: the airliner's four-man crew and Scorpion Pilot Owen. Scorpion Radarman Adams parachuted out, landed badly burned and unable to contribute an explanation of the collision.
