Errant Rocket Scares Border Town Near Juarez
A German V-2 rocket veered off course and landed on a hillside near Juarez, Mexico, after traveling about 65 miles south of El Paso. Col. H R Turner said the four and a half ton craft exploded on impact, not from fuel, and a civilian at the proving grounds failed to act as a gyroscope malfunctioned. No fatalities or property damage were reported by Mexican officials. The test aimed to evaluate modified V-2 parts loaded with scientific instruments.

The plane drifted in the Mississippi river before snagging barge lines. Vernon told police he just wanted to ride and believed he could fly. Cecil Petty of the flying service said the boy seemed bright and offered to give him a first flight and counsel about stealing versus asking.
