A Langley AFB spokesman said that Army salvage workers, aided by local authorities, recovered wreckage and bodies from the river throughout the following weekend. Capt. Gail Anderson of Langley AFB stated that divers had recovered one of the two engines of the T-29 as well as other "significant" parts which were placed on a barge and returned to Langley by Sunday 12 January. Seven of the nine victims' bodies had also been recovered but Maj. Loving stated that the identities of the victims would not be released until all bodies had been identified. The wreckage of the two aircraft were located in the river ~300 yards apart.<a href="#cite_note-UPI-3">[3]</a> The probable cause was given as "The human limitation inherent in the see-and-avoid concept, which can be critical in a terminal area with a combination of controlled and uncontrolled traffic. A possible contributing factor was the reduced nighttime conspicuity of the Cessna against a background of city lights."<a href="#cite_note-record-2">[2]</a> "Following the collision, Billy E. Commander, chief of the Norfolk air traffic control tower, said a new Stage III radar service designed to reduce the potential for mid-air collisions will be available in February to aircraft served by Norfolk Regional Airport and should assure that planes have at least 500 feet of vertical separation from each other."<a href="#cite_note-UPI-3">[3]</a></dd></dl> <dl><dt>14 January</dt> <dd><a href="/wiki/VF-1" class="mw-redirect" title="VF-1">VF-1</a>, the first of the Pacific Fleet <a href="/wiki/Grumman_F-14_Tomcat" title="Grumman F-14 Tomcat">F-14 Tomcat</a> squadrons to form, deployed aboard <a href="/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(CVN-65)" title="USS Enterprise (CVN-65)">USS Enterprise</a>, loses second of two aircraft during the 1974–75 deployment, signalling fan-blade containment problems with early <a href="/wiki/TF30" class="mw-redirect" title="TF30">TF30</a> turbofans,<a href="#cite_note-Lake,_Jon_1998,_page_143-1">[1]</a> when F-14A-70-GR, BuNo 159001, 'NK112', crashes into the sea near <a href="/wiki/Cubi_Point" class="mw-redirect" title="Cubi Point">Cubi Point</a> after engine failure.

The RAT overvaulted and its power arced to a high pressure fuel line to the #1 engine. The fuel line ruptured between the pressure sensor for the engine and the high-pressure fuel pump causing an open circuit. The pump attempted to increase the pressure at the engine by going to full speed which resulted in a high pressure fuel-fed fire. This fire quickly spread to the #2 engine, also on the port side, and then, more slowly, into the bomb-bay area on the port side of the aircraft. The heat of the fire in the bomb bay caused the flight control rods located on the port side of the bomb bay to expand which caused erroneous flight commands to the major flight controls which in turn resulted in the pilots losing control of the aircraft and the eventual order to abandon aircraft.

Both crews escape in each plane's two-seat crew ejection modules. Flotation bags on the Peluso/Schlitt module became partially dislodged soon after landing and the module submerged under several feet of water. The other crew module became inverted immediately after hitting the water and remained inverted on the water's surface until the arrival of a fishing vessel. At that time the crew activated self-righting bags that partially righted the module. The crew then exited the module and, assisted by a RAF rescue parajumper, climbed aboard the fishing vessel before being hoisted to a RAF rescue helicopter.
