Collision over desert kills 37 passengers and crew
A United Air Lines DC transport crashed 14 miles southwest of Las Vegas after a midair collision at 21 000 feet. Initial reports of parachutes proved false, as both crew members perished. The plane, en route Los Angeles to New York with layovers via Denver and Kansas City, carried 37 passengers and 10 crew, including five airline employees. Rescue teams found bodies in the wreckage amid flames and debris. Observers noted a possible flameout and no parachute use. The crash site lies near the area where Carole Lombard died in 1942. Air Force radiomen relayed garbled Mayday calls, and officials indicated instrument flight may have been involved.
