Article from Monessen Daily Independent Newspaper in Monessen, PA from March 2, 1951:
17 Believed Killed in Sioux City Air Crash
Sioux City, Ia., Mar. 2 - A Mid-Continent DC-3 air-liner carrying 25 persons crashed and burned while landing at the municipal airport during a snowstorm today and a com-pany spokesman at Omaha issued a statement indicating that 17 were killed. Bert Blackstock, Mid-Conti-nental manager at Omaha said there were "only eight surviv-ors, including a stewardess."
The Sioux City airport said that seven or eight persons had been taken to hospitals.
Sioux City police said they had an unconfirmed report that 16 persons were killed. The coroner was sent to the scene.
The airport control tower said the midsection, wings and tail of the twin-motored plane burned. All city fire equipment and 11 ambulances were sent to the scene.
Airport officials said snow was falling when the plane crashed about 9:20 a m. CST and visibility was "about a mile."
The plane, Flight No. 18, left Kansas City at 7:15 a m. (CST) en route in Minneapolis with several stops scheduled.
Dave Cochran of Sioux Air-lines, a private flying service at the municipal field about 10 miles south of here, said he saw the plane circling the field with its wheels down minutes before the crash.
"It appeared to be-coming in all right," Cochran said. "I no-ticed both engines were oper-ating.
"Then I heard a thud. I didn't see the actual crash. The plane hit about half a mile from the runway.
"It looked to me like the ground just came up too fast for the pilot. Visibility was bad."
