...word of the deaths was passed to the "decedent affairs desk" at the U.S. Naval Hospital at Bethesda. Md.. which in turn called Commander George W. Hyatt, director of the hospital's tissue bank.

He arranged for the bodies to be moved 20 miles to the hospital's morgue, then turned to "the toughest part of my job": telephoning the two families to notify them of the deaths. Dr. Hyatt waited an hour or so for the first shock...
...tissue bank, only one of its kind in the country. Designed and supervised by Dr. (Lieut. Commander) George W.

...main objection to airport hotels in the past has been the thunder of passing planes. To deaden the sound to a comfortable sleeping level, Los Angeles' Hyatt House incorporated sound baffles and special soundproofing into the hotel's walls, suspended the ceilings. The La Guardia Hotel also hangs its rooms from flexible steel spring clips so that sound waves striking the building will not set walls to reverberating. With both hotels already heavily booked, Ritter and Von Dehn each plan to build similar hotels at other major U.S. airports...
