All 133 Killed In Tokyo Crash
(N.Z.P.A. Reuter —Copyright) TOKYO, Feb. 6. Japanese naval frogmen today found wreckage which may hold most of the bodies from the All-Nippon Airways’ Boeing 727 which plunged into Tokyo Bay on Friday night killing 133 people in the world’s worst single-plane crash.
The Naval Self Defence Force reported that the main body of the fuselage was
lying on the muddy floor of the bay about 70ft below the surface.
Because of the mud andi waste discharges from nearby factories, visibility was) only about a yard. There was no immediate information how many of the| 103 missing bodies the wreck-j age held. One more body—the thir-j tieth—and a large wing sec-: tion and parts of the engine were found today after a second all-night search. Post-mortem examinations on recovered bodies show that death was apparently instantaneous when the plane 'hit the water, doctors reported. The airlines took advertisements in newspapers yesterday apologising for the crash.
