United Airlines Crash
Fifty-five dead when jet crashed into residential district in Townsville.
There were 61 passengers on the plane, most of which were killed in the crash. The National Safety Transportation Board was immediately dispatched to investigate the scene. Of the 55 reported dead the investigation found 42 bodies.
An eyewitness shared the feeling of shock they had watching the plane rapidly descend into the residential district, plowing through multiple homes. They said “I couldn’t believe it. I thought surely it would go back up in the air. But it kept coming down”.
One of the survivors shared the last words from the captain, “We are at 4000 feet and everything is going well” followed by sounds of the engine revving.
One response so far

A fire destroyed a barn at Norfolk Downs Race Track in Chicago this morning. Arson is suspected.
