Ten Killed When Big DirigibIe
Crashes Into Rotunda of
Chicago Building.
EXPLOSION FOLLOWED
Crew and Clerks Trapped In Fire
Filled Structure and Blazing Case
line Is Sprayed on Gagged
Workers.

Chicago, July 22.-Ten persons were
killed and 25 injured when a large
dirigible on its test flight caught fire
and fell 500 feet, crashing through the
glass roof Of the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank.
Most Of the dead were employees of
the bank, trapped and burned to death
in fire caused by the explosion Of
the balloons gasoline tanks as they hit
the floor of the bank rotunda, where
more than 200 bookkeepers and clerks,
nearly all girls, were working.
The balloon, owned by an Akron,
Ohio, rubber company, had been flying
above the city for several hours when
the accident occurred.
When approximately 500 feet above
the bank squirt of flame was seen to
shoot from the top of the gas bag near
the center of the aircraft. The crowds
gathered on the streets to watch the
fight, saw the machine buckle and
CULVER as it started on it's fatal plunge.
Four of it's five occupants jumped and
two landed safely in the streets, as
the Blimp, ball of flame, struck the
roof of the bank with crash, audible
throughout the downtown district.
Bank and Workers Crushed.
There was nothing to warn the hun
dreds of employees of the institution of
the coming tragedy. A shadow passed
over the marble rotunda, where $50
employees were busy and a crash fol-
lowed. The banks closing hour for
patrons had passed but the clerks
were still at work in various depart
ments.
It seemed, according to the surviv-
ors, that the entire bank was on fire.
Breaking through the iron supports
holding the glass overhead, the fusil-
age of the balloon with two heavy
rotary engines and several gasoline
tanks smashed to the floor.
Tanks Explode on Floor.
Instantly the tanks exploded, scatter
ing wave of flaming gasoline over
the workers for radius of so feet. A
panic ensued. There were only two
exits through which they could leave
the wire cage which surrounded the
rOtunda.
Men and girls with clothing afame
fought their way through the exits.
Girls on the second floor ran scream
ing to the window and several jumped
to the street.
In an instant the marble rotunda
was cleared except for the dead,
whose bodies were buried under the
mass, and the dying, who crawled
away from the scorching fire, their
clothes burning off.
Some Burned Beyond Recognition.
The intense heat made rescue work
difficult until after the fire department
arrived on an emergency alarm call.
It was 80 minutes before the bodies
under the crafts fusilage could be
dragged out. They were burned be.
yond recognition.
