CRASHED DAKOTA FOUND WRECKED IN RAVINE
Recd. 7.20 p.m. Paris, March 15. A search party located an Air France Dakota at the bottom of a deep ravine at an altitude of 3900 feet at Chateau Benard, 25 miles south of Grenoble. All aboard were apparently killed.
The search party which located the Dakota said they stumbled on the wreck by chance while searching a rugged, heavily-timbered massif. The crumpled wreckage was almost invisible, even from the ravine’s edge, and they were unable to approach it. One of the engines seemed to have crashed through the cabin, reducing it to twisted metal.
