Continue Search for Five Men Drowned in Calumet
The search continued for the bodies of five men who drowned when their car plunged through an open Calumet river bridge at 130th street. Driver Harry Henderson, 59, escaped after kicking through a window and was rescued by an unidentified hunter in a boat. The five victims, all Chicago residents and coworkers at Phelps-Dodge plant Pullman-Standard, were identified as African American men. The bridge was open during repairs and darkness hindered hazard detection.
