Where have I seen this article before?
All the folks first hand involved are long dead.
Would have been nice to hear their story.
I have a particular fascination with Death Valley and have never heard this story! I wonder if ‘Death Valley Days’ ever featured this story. I grew up in Los Angeles and ‘Death Valley Days’ never ran on local TV there . Why such a long running show did not run in L.A. remains a mystery to me.
Two engine plane that can’t fly on one engine. What idiot? That probably quadruples the crash rate because the probability of an engine failure now doubles, and then it’s worse because each engine is made more cheaply to control costs and the pilot and maintenance guys do not have the same pucker factor driving maintenance care.
Ping to self for later
JAMBOG!

This sounds like a story that wasn’t called in ‘enough’... like the reporter missed the real story he was suppose to find.
