Did the pilot eat fish?
And asked if this was “over Death Valley”
did someone say “I’ll never be over Death Valley.”

I'd say out the back door.

Did I miss the persons names and/ or deaths?

Its interesting that they stripped panels from the elevator and rudder, but not the fuselage.

Death Valley is quite beautiful in its own way.
There are many, many park rangers there to save the stupid from themselves.

About 20 months after this crash,
BCPA Flight 304 crashed in the Santa Cruz Mountains east of Half Moon Bay, CA. There's a memorial in the forest where the crash occurred. The plane had made it all the way from Honolulu and crashed on initial approach to San Francisco when it flew into the terrain.
BCPA Flight 304/44 was a scheduled flight operated by British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines from Sydney, Australia, to Vancouver, Canada, with scheduled stops at Fiji, Canton Island, Honolulu and San Francisco. On 29 October 1953, the flight was conducted by a Douglas DC-6 named Resolution and registered in Australia as VH-BPE. The propliner crashed during its initial approach towards San Francisco International Airport, killing all 19 people on board, including the American pianist William Kapell.

“to save the stupid from themselves”
The number of stupid has risen in direct proportion to the rise of smart phones.
