Worst History The crash was the worst single air tragedy in the history of this country's aviation, and the second major catastrophe in California this month. It came just a little more than two weeks after ten men lost their lives near Santa Monica when two of three planes engaged in filming a motion picture collided in mid-air and fell into the Pacific ocean.

The famous flyer would run give an opinion on the cause of the accident until he had investigated. Lindbergh refused comment until he had sufficient opportunity to make a thorough survey of the scene of the crash.
