Wow. I don’t remember the plane crash. I was only four.
It’s been a day of emotion here in Wichita. Thank you for including the plane crash. I was a little kid in eastern Kansas, but I can still picture the newspaper headline that next morning, and the entire state being stunned.
I remember this crash- and the Marshall University football crash in the same era.
Amen 🙌💥
