The tower heard one brief radio message from the plane: "One engine dead; returning for G.C.A. landing." A few minutes later, in a flat spin, the C-124 crashed into a muddy farm field northeast of the airport. There were no survivors: the plane carried to death 129 persons, seven members of the crew and 122 servicemen returning to their units in Korea after leave in Japan. It was, by a margin of 42 deaths, the world's worst disaster in the history of aviation.
