Disaster on the Mississippi claims many lives
A vast explosion on a Mississippi ship during a naval gun exercise left about 48 men dead. Fire and toxic fumes filled a turret as crews tried to escape, while volunteers braved flames to rescue survivors and enter the doomed compartment.
Ship Surgeons Aboard After Turret Explosions Kill and Injure Crew
Ship relief teams boarded the stricken vessel as officials feared further blasts from remaining guns in the turret might touch off the magazines and threaten the Mississippi. A second explosion occurred as wounded men were being moved to hospital, but no projectile struck San Pedro. Communication Officer Morgan said casualties would remain on the hospital ship Roger pending word from kin, with bodies to be sent home or buried at Arlington National Cemetery per relatives wishes.
