FBI Hunts Reason for B47 Blast
Air Force and FBI jointly pursued the mystery of why a B47 Stratojet exploded above Little Rock Arkansas. Three crewmen died and a civilian man and woman were killed in their homes as a fourth crewman parachuted to safety. Debris prompted civilian cooperation while Lt General John McConnell took charge of the investigation. Five people were treated for minor injuries and released.
