I knew an individual, who passed away not that long ago, who as about a 10-year-old child, actually witnessed this TWA Constellation out of control very close to his home. He saw the "Connie" at a steep angle approaching with its lights on and then simply flew into the ground and exploded. The crash site was only a few blocks from his parent's house. He told me of some of the horrors his dad and he saw shortly after the crash in terms of the actual victims. I myself was just short of being four years old when this tragic event occurred, and I can somewhat remember seeing the black and white photos of the crash on the back page of a section of the Chicago Tribune not to mention some of the local television coverage. It's so heartbreaking seeing all the photos of the victims. Thank you for sharing this.

My Goodness! The loss of that couple and their 5 children! I bet the grandparents were so grateful to have seen them! Or…. RIP beautiful angels!

Rest in Heavenly Peace to all those lost on TWA 529⚰️🪦 💐 🕊️ ✝️. To all of the grieving 😞 relatives, I offer you my deepest sympathies and condolences. You don’t grieve alone. Can you do the crash of Canadian Pacific 402 (March 4 1966) next?

So many young folk just beginning their lives.

So many of these victims were at different stages of their lives. Many of them young adults, who presumably felt to have their whole lives ahead of them… you wonder what their last thoughts and their last words were. What they wished they would’ve done or said that they would never have the chance to again. Such an awful way to spend your sudden final seconds of human life on earth.
