In this alarming situation, Dodd kept as many of the men below as possible; but, for all he could do four were killed and seven wounded.
Tom Dodd looked back and grinned sympathetically. "Don't feel badly. Even the commercial pilots sit up straight and keep bright-eyed on the Washington approach. Airwise, it's one of the most crowded cities in the world."
