Passengers, believed to have been aboard a Trans World Airlines plane that crashed and burned near Chicago: A list, of 73 passengers and 5 crew on board, was compiled with the help of TWA and by checks in the home towns. It includes BETH HARNISH, who purchased a round-trip Boston/San Francisco ticket in Tulare, CA.
Flight 529; The four-engine plane was an all-coach flight called the "Sky Coach." It had made stops at New York and Pittsburgh and was bound from Chicago to Las Vegas. The aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Chicago's Midway Airport after a malfunction of the flight controls, which subsequently led to a full upward deviation of the elevator, and a stall. It came down close to the Argonne National Laboratory, a major installation of the Atomic Energy Commission at Lemont. The explosion and flames rising from the wreckage were so intense that the thought of a nuclear explosion sprang to the minds of many witnesses.
