Frankie Housley….a young flight attendant, died saving several people in the crash of a National Air Lines DC-4 on an icy runway in Philadelphia in January, 1951. She raced a rapidly spreading gasoline fire that was consuming the passenger compartment, and she escorted several passengers through the smoke and out of the plane, shoving them when she had to. In the end, she wasn’t able to save herself, or the four-month-old baby later found in her arms.
You really should read THE WHOLE STORY of Frankie’s heroism, in which she laid down her life for the passengers on her flight. But, the story doesn’t end there…..so get a hankie, and read on.
