'''January 16, 1969 [The Catalina Islander]:''' “Two lose lives in jet crash. Millions of dollars of warplane and the priceless lives of two Navy fliers were smashed over approximately one square mile of Catalina mountainside at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, January 10. The F-4 Phantom jet fighter, based at Miramar Naval Air Station, failed to clear the ridge behind Memorial Canyon as it made an approach to the west. The crash and resulting explosion illuminated Avalon, several miles away. First on the scene was Norm Cooper, security agent for the Santa Catalina Island Co., and his wife. They found fires burning over a wide area and indications that no rescue efforts could be made. The Security Department, Sheriff's Department and both the City and County fire departments worked through the night and into the next day. Navy personnel arrived the following morning and investigated the crash. Dead were: Ensign Richard Hammerstone and Lt. Commander Darryl D. Olsen. Both young men were from San Diego.”
