Langley decided to try again, on
December 8th 1903. This time, the

airplane crashed into the river.

The structure had failed due to the
stress sustained on takeoff, and also
due to the powerful engine.

This time the airplane could not be

salvaged, and the funds had been
totally drained.

Sadly, this was the end to Langley's 16

years of aerial experiments. He died
in 1906 after a series of strokes, a

broken and disappointed man.
