The plane has been salvaged and
towed to the shore and is being made
the subject of n strict investigation in
an effort to determine whether the acci
dent was the result Of faulty construc
tion or one of the unforeseen circum =
stances which are still a constant men
ace to airmen.

fortunate enough to be thrown free of
the entangling wires and fuselage and
