STEVE KOVACH wrote on January 11, 2006 CITY AND STATE: QUAKERTOWN PA UNIT: 22ND TROOP CARRIER SQUADRON SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: Correction to my previous entry. It was the Han River, not the Yalu!The plane was ditched into the river because the river was illuminated by the moonlight and was the safest reachable place. The plane split open forward of the tail section and was the escape route for most of the passengers. In a newspaper interview, Capt Moon said he was thrown onto an ice floe in his seat, unbuckled his safety belt and pulled suvivors onto the ice floe.Not quite. His seat was still in the plane. Strange things happen.I think the FLT ENG was M/SGT White. Keywords: C124 Crash In Korea

STEVE KOVACH wrote on January 10, 2006 CITY AND STATE: QUAKERTOWN PA UNIT: 22ND TROOP CARRIER SQUADRON SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: I was in the 22nd TCS at Tachi '56 to '57. The tail number was 1040 and was a 22nd TCS aircraft. Capt. Moon was the pilot and the copilot was the 22nd's asst maint officer. He was relieved from the right seat by the 22nd's operations officer when the prop came through the side.The ops major died in the crash while the asst maint officer survived in the reserve crew seat which the ops major had vacated.Captain Moon also survived. The flight engineer was killed. I saw the engine after it was returned to Tachi. The prop shaft looked as though it was cut by a diamond saw. Not a burr on it. The 22nd's Japanese mechanics had spent a lot of time clearing a "smoker" on that engine the night before that flight. Keywords: C124 Crash Korea 1957
