Tanker Crash and Fire Kill Fifteen at Newport
A dense fog crash between two tankers off Newport Rhode Island left 15 dead and 36 injured. The Gulfoil and S. E. Graham collided and burned for hours near Ft Adams, with crew members leaping into the sea or perishing below decks. Rescue helicopters ferried survivors to hospital in Boston as authorities investigated the cause.
