Firefighters found a second body Friday in the smoldering rubble of a house hit by a jet fighter whose pilot had tried to steer it away from homes before he bailed out.

The body of T. Keeler Quillan, an 80-year-old attorney, was found at the home about six miles northwest of the runway at Tinker Air Force Base.

Quillan’s sister, Helen Williams, 72, died in the fire ignited when the A-7D Corsair hit a row of trees, clipped off a utility pole and rammed into the house. Anna Nauman, 46, Mrs. Williams’ daughter, was in satisfactory condition at Midwest City Memorial Hospital, where she was being treated for burns.
