Carole's death was the first war-related female casualty that the U.S. suffered during World War II. Off course because the captain of the plane was in the back talking to Lombard and the first officer was up front flying all alone in instrument conditions, the plane clipped a rocky ledge on Mt. Potosi, flipped into the face of a cliff, and exploded. Carole, best known for such comedies as Nothing Sacred, was married to Clark Gable.

January 31, 1957: During the final test flight of the new Douglas DC-7B airliner over the San Fernando Valley, the plane ran almost head-on into a U.S. Air Force F-89J Scorpion jet fighter which was on a similar test flight.

Having lost its left wing, the DC-7B went into a high speed dive, began breaking up about 700 feet about the ground, and crashed into a Pacoima, California churchyard, killing all four crew members. The plane exploded into hundreds of flaming pieces that flew across the adjacent junior high school playground where three students were killed and 74 more injured. Among those killed were Roland Owen, the pilot of the Air Force jet, and Archie R. Twitchell (50), co-pilot of the DC-7B and an actor who appeared in 70 films, including Sunset Boulevard, I Wanted Wings, and Among the Living.

February 11, 1985: Ben Abruzzo, a crew member on the Double Eagle II, the first balloon to cross the Atlantic Ocean nonstop, was killed along with several passengers when his twin-engine plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Albuquerque, New Mexico airport. An investigation showed that the probable cause of the crash was an external luggage compartment door which had been left open. The best idea from aircraft data was that he had pulled back on the gas of the closest prop to the door and then inadvertently feathered the wrong prop, thus rendering both engines inoperative. Before his death, Abruzzo was also a member of the first team to fly a balloon nonstop across the Pacific Ocean.

Amazingly, the pilot was able to land the plane despite the aerodynamically impared fuselage. Months after the incident, passengers, crew and the captain started talking about a strange occurrence. Apparently they all felt the presence of angels who helped to hold the plane in the air. Some describe looking out the window and seeing a hand holding up the wing. [While this incident doesn't really fit under celebrities, it was interesting enough to include here because of the reported presence of angels.]
