Almost miraculously, it apparently killed no one on the ground, although a sheet of flames rolled across the expressway, in cinerating an empty farm house. Burning debris struck one auto mobile and a labor contractor s bus. Traffic was tied up badly. Except for one large section which fell almost intact some dis tance away, the main wreckage was in pieces no larger than about four feet in diameter. The blast black ened a corn field to the north and scattered debris over an area of two miles square. Chief Deputy Sheriff William C. Helm and Deputy Sal Vizcarri saw the plane for a short time before it hit the ground. They said it was coming almost directly at them at approximately 2,00 feet altitude.
