The top of the front page has a four column headline: "20 DIE, 65 SURVIVE IN PLANE CRASH ON RIKERS ISLAND DURING TAKE-OFF; 8 ON MIAMI-BOUND FLIGHT MISSING" with subheads and photo of the pilot. Also a related map. (see) Nice to have in this World famous NYC publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete with all 32 pages, toning along the central fold, small address stamp within the masthead, generally nice.
