Mar. 03, 1964 - Time Riddle Of The Crashed Airlines: A clock on a battered instrument instrument panel may give a clue to why the Bristol Britannia airliner crashed into the Glungezer Mountain near Innsbruck, killing all 83 people on board. The hands of the clock, which was found amongst the wreckage yesterday, stand at four minutes past two, which was nine minutes before Innsbruck received the last message from the plane, reporting it's height to be 10, 000 ft. which suggests to experts that the plane suffered from trouble in the electrical systems a little time before the crash occured. Photo shows The clock that may provide the vital clue to the investigations
