AERODROME ACCIDENTS
Youth Crushed To Death (N.Z. Press Association) SYDNEY, August 24. A 17-y ear-o Id apprentice mechanic was crushed to death in the nose-wheel well of a Qantas Boeing 707 airliner at Sydney airport yesterday. He was Stanley Frederick Jackson. Workmates, who saw the huge 120-ton airliner fall on its nose, were powerless to prevent the trapped youth from being crushed. Tyres Burst A Trans-Australian Airline Electra jet burst its two port tyres as it touched down at Melbourne's Essendon airport this afternoon. None of the 49 passengers on the flight from Sydney realised anything was wrong until the plane stopped on the runway. The cause of the blowouts was not known. The plane stopped at the end of the runway, and passengers were taken to the terminal by buses.
