Bodies of 10 Navy airmen killed in crash recovered
CORPUS CHRISTI May UP The bodies of 10 men killed when their Navy patrol bomber crashed into a Mexican hillside were recovered and returned to Corpus Christi Saturday. A Navy spokesman said there was evidence they never knew what happened and apparently were killed instantly. The bodies were carried from the crash site along rugged 18 mile paths to awaiting ambulances, then to Harlingen and back to Corpus Christi. The plane hit a 3000 foot hillside about 90 miles southwest of Brownsville late Wednesday night. Rescue crews reached the crash site Friday but lacked radio contact to inform bases. Lt Cmdr James F. Gillin Jr investigated the crash which burned and scattered wreckage. No official verdict on cause. no sign of mechanical failure. The mountain apparently loomed up suddenly, killing all aboard instantly.
