THE MATERIAL WAS IDENTIFIED AS BUTADIENE/ACYLONITRILE, WHICH IS THE SAME MATERIAL THAT WAS USED IN SOME FLEXIBLE FUEL LINES. BOTH PLTS RECEIVED SERIOUS HEAD INJURIES. THE SURVIVING PLT IN THE BACK SEAT COULD NOT REMEMBER THE FLT OR ACCIDENT. SHOULDER HARNESSES WERE AVAILABLE & USED, BUT NEITHER WERE EQUIPPED WITH INERTIA REELS.
