Suspect Bomb In Cathay Crash
In Saigon area reports quote informed sources saying a bomb likely caused the Cathay Pacific Convair crash that killed 81 people. Investigators, ruling out collision, weather, and military activity, focus on passenger insurance policies as part of the inquiry. The four engine jet, en route from Singapore and Bangkok to Hong Kong, crashed 200 miles northeast of Saigon with 71 passengers and 10 crew aboard. Two bomb theory factors cited are the Convair airframe’s strength and lack of distress in the pilot’s final radio, suggesting no prior indication of trouble.
