Kansans safe after air tragedy
The Associated Press
HUTCHINSON — A Hutchinson
native and her husband narrowly
escaped day Sunday when a jet
was blown by an air show in West Germany.
The tragedy that killed 46 people at the U.S. Air Force Base in Ramstein was described as the worst air show crash involving spectators. Some were buried beyond recognition when the jets collided on a low-level stunt flight, and one of them hurtled into the crowd in a ball of flame.
Mindy Mitchell said in an interview with the Hutchinson on Monday that she and her husband, Randy, went to the site just minutes before the crash.
"We turned around and all of a sudden there was all this smoke and fire. Just thinking about it makes me shake," said Mindy Mitchell, whose active LArned, Kan., is an electronics technician stationed at the base.
Before they moved to use the restroom, the Mitchells had been sitting next to a trailer that was
carrying generator equipment. The trailer was near the heart of the crash site.
The Mitchell's close call wasn't the only one for a family from Kansas.
Kenneth Dawson, whose parents live in Hutchinson, and his family were also at the air show when the crash happened, but escaped injury.
Dawson's wife, Cindy, a registered nurse who works in an Army hospital a few miles from Ramstein, volunteered her help in a first aid tent. Dawson is stationed in the Air Force in West Germany.
RAMSTEEN, West Germany — Four U.S. victims who suffered severe burns but survived the Ramstein air show disaster left for Texas yesterday aboard a special U.S. Air Force transport plane.

first U.S. victims of Sunday's tragedy evacuated to the United States.
