And people shunned her!
Because she looked a bit disheveled.
> People saw her disheveled appearance and were afraid; Charles Manson had recently been put on trial in the town, and his female followers spent a lot of time hanging around it.
The full context makes people's reactions to her much more acceptable and understandable.
I was looking at it from her point of view: she barely survived a plane crash where the other two people died, almost lost her life again on the way down the mountain, and then when she thought she'd reached "safety"...
Just an awful experience for everyone involved.
I'm fascinated by the great skill demonstrated by pilots handling crippled aircraft.
