In 1932 Western Air Express tested airborne television using Loretta Young on a Fokker trimotor at 3000 feet over Los Angeles.

Boy Trapped in Cave Rescued After Nightlong Effort
Morris, a 15 year old from Berea, was trapped 60 feet inside Wildcat Cave near Hickley after a flat tire detour during a field trip. Rescue teams led by Curtis Peck and Mike Ulrich used ropes and straps to inch him free despite extreme confinement and near freezing conditions.
