Miss Bobby Chase, a woman parachute jumper, was left suspended beneath an airplane after one of the ropes of her parachute caught the plane's undergear as she leaped.
By the Associated Press. SANTA MONICA, Calif., November 8. - Leaping from a speeding airplane at an altitude of 800 feet, yesterday, Miss "Bobby" Chase, woman parachute jumper, became suspended beneath the ship when one of the ropes of her parachute caught the plane's undergear. She was rescued by a second airplane.
After she dangled in the air for two minutes, an occupant of the second plane cut the cord which held Miss Chase, the 'chute opened and she landed safely two miles away.
Hundreds of spectators were thrilled at the feat, which occurred in connection with the exhibition of the Byrd polar plane.
