In less than a day a Convair 580 with 31 aboard hit a power line near Tweed-New Haven Airport and broke apart in a marsh, while a Hughes Air West DC9 collided with a Marine Corps Phantom near Los Angeles, killing 50. Rescuers recovered bodies from a rugged canyon as fog and terrain hampered salvage. The two disasters left 81 dead, with one survivor and ongoing inquiries into air safety.
