Photograph caption dated September 18, 1982 reads, "Rescue workers use gloved hands to pry open the wreckage of a single-engine Cessna 210 that crashed yesterday after colliding with another light plane above the streets of Huntington Beach. They soon recovered the lifeless bodies of the two men aboard, but could not immediately identify them. The other plane, a twin-engine Beechcraft, landed safely as 18 firefighters stood by on a runway at John Wayne Airport. The crash left 'a hole the size of the plane two feet deep in the sidewalk' when the plane hit at 4:43 p.m. about 50 feet from a condominium, according to fire department Capt. Jim Kettler."
