Wreckage of Luxury Airliner Found North of Saugus
A chartered luxury airliner crashed on a mountain slope 20 miles north of Saugus during a delivery flight to St Paul. Nine aboard were killed as an explosion and fire tore through the craft, with five bodies recovered from the wreckage and four scattered along a 400 yard debris path. The pilot apparently did not switch off the motors, suggesting the crash was unexpected. The plane tore through shrubs, timber, and yucca, and one propeller and a twin motor came loose. Fuselage largely destroyed, altitude about 4,000 feet, and fog hampered initial assessments near Mint Canyon.
