SKYMASTER CRASHES
HEAVY MIST BAFFLES PILOT % FIVE PERSONS KILLED Rec. 11 p.m. NEW YORK, Nov. 30. Five passengers of a D.C.4 and a woman in a motor car have died as the result of a plane crash in heavy mist at Seattle to-day. Eleven others are still in a critical condition, and several are not expected to live. The plane, which carried 28 and was owned by Alaska Airlines, was completing a flight from Annette Island, Alaska. It came down on to the airfield in a steep bank, nosed over, and scattered wreckage over 200 yards as it hurtled over the end of the runway and through the heavy Sunday traffic on the Des Moines-Seattle highway. In crossing the highway the plane struck a motor car, then plunged on into a wooden area, where it burst into flames. Two passengers in the plane and a woman in the car were killed, and three others died in hospital.
