Pilot Fights To Miss Crash In Ga Tragedy

The Southern Airways DC-9 Flight 242 bound for Atlanta from Huntsville struck trees and cars near New Hope Georgia during a severe storm. Sixty six people were killed on impact and four on the ground. The craft nearly reached a rural road before crashing, with 81 passengers and four crew aboard. The incident prompted an NTSB crew to investigate the cause as debris injured by hail and engine failure were noted.
