Show Figures Final; 41 Die, 50 Hurt Final figures on last Thursday's Thurs-day's tragic crash at Salt Lake Airport are in at last. As CAB investigators pieced together evidence on the cause of the crash, the toll stands at 41 dead, 28 still hopitalized, and 22 released re-leased after treatment. THERE HAD been some speculation spec-ulation that the tragedy was due to drinking by the pilot. This was disproved by blood samples taken from members of the crew. Five of those still hospitalized are from Utah, and 13 Utahns were among the fatalities. The CAB investigation now in progress will continue taking evidence this week, and full hearings on the crash will be held in a few weeks. |
