As the Mustang's left wing began to drop, Lt Rorke jettisoned his napalm tanks, possibly in a last attempt to avoid disaster, but crashed into the B29 and the exploding napalm engulfed both aircraft. ref. 85 years of SAAF . .

Died on 106th floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower Son of Judy Rowe, of Johannesburg, South Africa. A native of South Africa, Nick Rowe told friends he had come to the U.S. in part because it was safer than his homeland. He was comfortable and confident and competent in virtually any business and social situation, said Adiathia Padala, chief executive officer of Rowe's employer, UmeVoice Inc., a voice recognition system for Wall Street traders. "He dealt with the very high-end Wall Street customers," Padala said. "He would walk into the room and get people to smile. It didn't matter what kind of people they were." Rowe, 29, of Hoboken, N.J., had worked at UmeVoice for nearly four years and had been in the U.S. for several years before that. He liked to play rugby and snow ski. Padala had pegged him to open the company's London office next year, which thrilled Rowe. "I'm going to miss a lot of things about him," Padala said, "but mostly it's his confident smile, his voice at the other end of the line." Rowe was on the 106th floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower setting up a display at a trade show. Padala had lost his keys before they arrived and went looking for them instead of accompanying Rowe to set up the exhibit. "Oh, don't worry about it," Padala recalled Rowe saying, "I'll take care of it." . . NO

Rorke as his No.2 were on a mission when Lt Ruiter reported that his engine temperature was fluctuating, and got Lt Rorke to investigate. He found that the coolant shutter was open, and Lt Ruiter decided to return to base, escorted by Lt Rorke. Ten miles NNW of Wonsan harbour, white smoke began issuing from Lt Ruiter's Mustang, and this soon turned to black smoke, with the engine cutting out momentarily. Realising he would not get home, Lt Ruiter headed for nearby Yo-do Island, which was in friendly hands. He advised that he was going to bale out, but then changed his mind and elected to attempt a forced landing on the beach. He flew down the beach and, overshooting, attempted to turn back about 1000 feet out to sea. His left wing struck the water and his aircraft crashed, sinking almost immediately. Lt Rorke observed a brown object float away from the wreck, and directed two corvettes to search, but Lt Ruiter was not found. ref. 85 years of SAAF . . YES
