Jet Trouble in Snow Delays, But 31 Safe
A United DC-8 from Philadelphia to San Francisco landed safely in Denver after the nose gear linkage snapped at 33 000 feet. Twenty four passengers and seven crew members were unharmed despite a loud explosionlike noise and three inches of snow at Stapleton. Marines and other servicemen aboard faced a 14 degree cold as they transferred to another plane for the continuation of their trip. The aircraft, normally carrying 120, landed with vibration that subsided before touchdown. The nose gear door failure was the suspected cause, with initial inspection focusing on the snapped linkage.
