Engine already running, this famous but ill-fated short flight took off at 5:14 PM and crashed about 15 minutes later when the vibrations from a broken propeller took part of the tail assembly with it, causing Orville to loose control and crash nose-first in front of a crowd of 2000 people. Both were badly injured, but 1st Lt Thomas E. Selfridge (USA) died due to massive skull injuries at 8:10 PM, becoming the first airplane passenger/observer to die in an aviation accident. Selfridge ANGB is named in his honor.

The grand daughter of John T. Daniels, the man that squeezes the bulb to take the picture, is a retired school teacher who has lived in Raleigh, NC for many years. She reports that this is the first and last picture that her grandfather ever took. He had never seen a camera before this day.
