The front page has a banner headline: "70 Die as Planes Collide in Air; Wreckage Plunges Into Cerritos, Burning 16 Homes" with subhead and two related photos. Much more on a few inside pages.

wikipedia notes: A similar accident is depicted on a Breaking Bad episode. The show's main character has the same name as the air-traffic controller in the real-life accident, Walter White.

Complete with all sections (80+ pages), great condition.
