Stephen Baltz, 11, of Wilmette, IL, receives aid at Seventh

UNITED STATES - DECEMBER 16: Stephen Baltz, 11, of Wilmette, IL, receives aid at Seventh Ave. near Sterling Place, after a United Airlines DC-8 and a Trans World Airlines Super Constellation collided over the city. He was the only passenger to make it to a hospital. The boy, who was traveling on his own, was flung out of the wreckage into a snowbank, which put out the fire consuming his clothes. Several first-day articles hailed the miracle of his survival. But he was been burned over 80 percent of his body and his lungs were seared. Stephen clung to life for twenty-six hours at Methodist Hospital, then died on Dec. 17. (Photo by Ed Peters/NY Daily News Archive via Getty Images)
