CLIFTON FORGE, Va, Dec
rs (AP) e. Phil Bradley, only
survivor of an airliner crash in
the Blue Ridge mountains Oc-
tober 30, made it home for
Christmas last night-but not
without more trouble.
The ambulance carrying him
here from a Charlottesville hos
pital broke down two miles from
his home.
The Clifton Forge rescue
squad finally took him the rest
of the way.
Mr.. Bradley. 80, suffered a
dislocated hip, a broken knee
and bruises when the Piedmont
plane crashed some Is miles
west of Charlottesville, killing
rs of the 81 aboard. He was
found 36 hours later.
Mr.. Bradley, a labor union
organizer, declined to speculate
on the cause of the crash.
"All I know is we hit it (the
mountainl and that's ALL" he
told newsmen before he left
Charlottesville.
The Bradleys have no chill
dren, only "a great big old
dog" and plan a quiet Christ
mas. Several more weeks of
rest will be necessary before
Mr.. Bradley will be able to re-
sumo normal activities.
