body clasped in the arms of stew-
ardess Sue Young, who apparent-
ly tried unsuccessfully to save him.
Both bodies were badly charred.
Mrs. Meo, who has been given
opiates to dull her pain, said there
was a "big flash" and then a
bump."
"I don't know which happened
first," she said. "Then there was
fire everywhere. My whole face
was on fire. Everything was on
fire.
"People were yelling. r was ter'-
rible. Where's Pudgy? Where's my
baby?"
'50-50 Chance'
Pudgy was her only son. Doc-
tors said that the information that
her son died might jeopardize the
"50-50" chance she has of pulling
through.
Rescuers pulled Mrs. Meo and
one other passenger from the fire
alive. However, Ralph R. Levy,
Chicago insurance broker, died a
short time later. Mrs. Meo was on
her way to Miami for her health.

the plane crashed.
