Rear Admiral W. A. Moffett, the Navy’s top officer aboard the airship Akron, is believed to be lost as the dirigible fails in the disaster. Rescue efforts and official investigations follow as authorities confirm the tragedy.
The Akron successfully moored to the mast of the dirigible mooring ship Patona marking a new Navy achievement.
Lieut. Commander Charles E. Rosendahl of Texas first commanded the Akron but lost command and may live due to demotion. Bertram J. Rodgers and Roland George Mayer were not aboard. Herbert V. Wiley, second in command on the fatal cruise, was rescued from wreckage in late reports.
