Man who passed on rescue from Atlanta may be identified
Washington UPI report notes autopsies show 50 bodies recovered after the Air Florida crash with 78 dead. Aided bystanders and a helicopter crew, a likely hero who passed ropes to five others drowned in the Potomac as investigators with Park Police avoid positive identification to prevent mislabeling. Friends of Arland Williams of Atlanta say the description matches him, while others mention Arthur J Viehman Jr. of Arlington as a possible candidate, though no confirmation is made.
