It’s starting to rain again; it’s… the
rain had slacked up a little bit.
The back motors of the ship are just holding
it just enough to keep it from…
It’s burst into flames!
… Get this, Charlie; get this, Charlie!
It’s fire… and it’s crashing!
It’s crashing terrible!
Oh, my!
Get out of the way, please!
It’s burning and bursting into flames and
the… and it’s falling on the mooring mast.
And all the folks agree that this is terrible;
this is the one of the worst catastrophes
in the world.
… Crashing, oh!
Four or five hundred feet into the sky and
it… it’s a terrific crash, ladies and
gentlemen.
It’s smoke, and it’s in flames now; and
the frame is crashing to the ground, not quite
to the mooring mast.
Oh, the humanity!
And all the passengers screaming around here.
I told you; it — I can’t even talk to
people, their friends are out there!
Ah!
It’s… it… it’s a… ah!
I…
I can’t talk, ladies and gentlemen.
Honest, it’s just laying there, a mass of
smoking wreckage, and everybody can hardly
breathe and talk…
I’m sorry.
Honest, I can hardly breathe.
I’m going to step inside where I cannot
see it.
Charlie, that’s terrible.
I…
Listen folks, I’m going to have to stop
for a minute, because I’ve lost my voice…
This is the worst thing I’ve ever witnessed.
