Summary
[edit]DescriptionUSAF Major Thomas J. Deegan.jpg |
English: Maj. Thomas J. Deegan, 37, assigned to Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. He and Airman 1st Class Bobbie L. Rolland, 25, had just refueled their B-57 Canberra and lifted off the Tinker north-south runway when Deegan radioed the control tower that he was "having difficulty with the engines." Instead of saving his own life by ejecting from the aircraft, Deegan had gone down with the plane, ensuring the safety of everyone in the houses all around them. Along the tragic flight path were houses, a shopping complex and a school. Later, an investigator said the pilot did "a fantastic job steering" the damaged two-engine aircraft to an open area in the neighborhood and into a 500-yard field between occupied houses. A bridge in Attleboro, MA, was named after him: Major Thomas J. Deegan Memorial Bridge. |
