ARMY AIRSHIP
FALLS 1000 FEET;
THIRTY-FOUR Die
SURVIVORS ESCAPE BY LEAPING
AS MAMMOTH CRAFT HITS
THE GROUND
Victims Were Imprisoned In Hull,
Where charred Bodies Were Found
Broken Rudder Believed To Have
Caused Disaster.

Norfolk, Thirty-four men were
killed. eight were injured seriously
and three were uninjured or bruised
slightly when the giant army airship
Rome, with her crew and a number Of
civilians. totaling 10 aboard, plunged
from 1000 feet or more in the air to
the ground at the Hampton Roads
Army base. The accident presume
bly, was caused by a broken rudder
and as the huge dirigible plunged to
earth it capsized across n high-ten-
sion electric line, bursting into a furn-
ace Of blazing hydrogen gas.
Long after dark many hours after
its fall, the ship still was a mass of
flames from end to end of the 4lO-foOt
mass. The fire fed on the 1,OOO,OO0
cubic feet of gas which had distended
the great bag for the flight and made
all attempts at rescue work futile.
Barely a dozen Of those aboard were
found alive, and one of these died on
his way to a hospital. All of those
who survived the fire escaped by leap
ing as the ship struck. The others,
penned in the hull beneath the fallen
bag. burned to death. Heat of the fire
fought back the rescuerS for hours.
Within the wreckaGe lay the bodies,
many Of them charred beyOng recogni-
ton. Thirty bodies had been remOv-
ed. Three or four more were thought
still to be in the charred mass that
remained of what had been the larg-
est ship of its type in the world. The
Roma was an Italian-built craft, pur-
chased by the United States Govern
ment from Italy early in 1921 for $780,
900. 1t was the largest semi-rigid air
craft in the world, and the cost of
duplicating il, the War Department
said, at the time of purchase probably
would he S1,25O,OOO. The airship was
of 10000 cubic feet capacity, 4lO
feet long, 81 feet wide and ssh feet
high.
