The Roma, a dirigible the US Army bought from Italy, crashes in Norfolk, Virginia, killing 34 people, the biggest aviation disaster in US history. The rudder system failed and it headed straight into the ground, hitting a high-voltage power line which ignited its hydrogen. The 11 survivors were able to jump to the ground through the hole ripped in the fabric, usually landing with their clothes on fire.
They keep telling us the Roma was the largest semi-rigid dirigible in the world, but don’t say which one is the largest now.
The LA cops are re-interviewing all the witnesses in the William Desmond Taylor case in pursuit of their current theory that it was a jealous woman who shot him.
