AIRSHIP BURSTS 300 FEET UP.
10,000 People See Spectacular Accident
At Oakland.?Meu Jumped to i
Ground.
Oakland, Cala., May 23.-^-A
mammoth airship, on its trip trip I
in Berkley today, ?ose 300 feet
from the earth in view of 10,000 .
spectators, tilted, Tmrst and drop- '
ped to the ground with its crew
of sixteen men, every one of whom .
was injured. Wtih the j)ossible exception
of one all will recover. Sev- I
en were severely hurt, while nine 1
were cut and bruised. 1
L. C. Roers, engineer, whose (
right leg was frac wired and who '
was injured internally, may die. 1
The accident was spectacular. A '
great cor.coursc of men, women and
children from Berkley and Oakland
had gathered around a field, where- 1
in the great airship had been filled 1
with illuminating gas. The airship <
rose slowly from the earth. The (
five gasoline engines, suspended '
beneath the long gas receptacle at
intervals of about Krtv feel, each 1
attended by an engineer, were not I
put in operation until the airship 1
was well in the air. Then (wo of I
the engines slowly yet in motion
the long propellers reaching <uti :
from them on each side of the
ship. l?eioro the ship could be propelled
further than a few feet trie <
forward end tilted downward tin- j
til the craft stood at an agle of |
about 45 degrees, nose downward. ,
The members of the crew were
apparently trying to run along the
canvass pathway in order to c(|na- <
lize the weight and to right the air- '
I ship, and they clung desperately j
to the netting and superstructure. |
The rush of the gets to the stern
of the long gas bajf caused the en- |
velope to burst with a loud ripping
noise. The release of a great quantity
of gas caused the airship to
settle towards the earth. Some of
the crew lost their heads and 1
1 jumped, suffering broken limbs or
I severe bruises. Waring the earth
the ship lost gas more vapidly and
the overweighted remnant was
borne to the earth rapidly and with '
great force. .Morrell. the inventor 1
of the craft, and several of the en- :
ginecrs, were caugTit in the under- 1
structure and injured by the en- '
gines. As the gas bag burst and the 1
ship fell towards the earth, men, '
women and children screamed and
ran in every direction. Several women
fainted and children were '
knocked down. A cry of horror
rose as several men leaped from (
the ship and hurled themselves to
earth, where they landed with j
thuds that brought groans from the I
injured and created alarm among 1
the onlookers. As the ship crash- 1
ed to the ground a moment later. 1
hundreds of men rushed forward, 1
and with knives ripped the gas 1
bag in a hundred places, cutting 1
away the varnished matoriai to get j
out the men buried underneath.
The injured men were quickly tak- 1
en to the Roosevelt I lospital and j
Oakland hospitals. (
J. K. Morrell had a long time <
been engaged in building and ex- 1
!' ploiting his airship, which was <
b more than 400 feci long and 30 |
( feet in diameter. lie announced I
f th;il i( was only a model of the one .v
he intended to builo, declaring thai I
b he would construct a ship 1.200 (
K feet long and capable of carrying <
500. passengers. The gas bag was
in tile shape of a torpedo, with blunt
ends. The live engines were sus- t
ponded by means of heavy network. 1
A? canvass running board connect- 1
! e(d the engines. The ship was not I
L ita the ai rlong enough to determine
fibjj|rt'hether it could be propelled and ;
jgajBirectcd bv the ten propellers, two 1
^^Kriven by each engine. Tt is said <
