It is often claimed Komarov likely knew that he would not make it home, and demanded that in the event of his death, his body should be displayed in an open casket to embarrass the Soviet leadership.
He rose, and approaching his desk, he opened a long casket which contained numerous little parcels, all tied up with a slender cord, and on each was written a date in four figures.
Residents lined the streets with some carrying US flags as the casket carrying La David Johnson passed by on the way to the cemetery where friends and families said their final goodbyes.
居民们在街道两旁列队,目送覆盖着美国国旗约翰逊(La David Johnson)灵柩缓缓前行,前往公墓,亲友们将在那里和他永别。
