...Singing Thing. Below, the rain and fog had driven Elizabeth's residents indoors. Eugene Alvator, home for an early dinner with his wife and children, heard "a singing thing." He walked to the door. The song ended in shocking crescendo; the crump of a crashing airplane, then the violent explosion of fuel tanks...
...thundering 21-gun salute from an unseen man-o'-war rumbled in the fog off Barcelona harbor. Ancient Spanish cannon in the fort protecting the harbor bellowed their reply. Out of the mist loomed two U.S. cruisers and three destroyers. It was the U.S. Sixth Fleet's first operational visit in Franco's day, to Spain's well-sheltered Mediterranean ports.

...Soon the fog had spread over the entire city. At least 25 people were injured stumbling through its gloom; King George VI had to cancel a trip to the theater-his first evening out since his operation three months ago; greyhound racing at the White City was abandoned because dogs couldn't see the hare; and a mallard duck flying blind over central London slammed into Victoria Station and crash-landed on No. 6 platform...
