lol I think those were Comet 1s or 2s. The 4s were much more safer and reliable. Sadly, with those early crashes, Boeing and Douglas leaped ahead as customers turned away from Comets.

Raise your hand if you remember sonic booms!

The original Comets had windows that were too big. They would blow out at altitude and, well, game over.

Sounds really messy.
