After the first CAB report was released, with basically implied that CAPT Spong had committed suicide and taken the rest with him, his widow was the subject of harassing and malicious phone calls. His young son was bullied at school to the point that he developed an ulcer. Thank goodness that the third CAB report cleared the captain....it should not have taken five years.
The distance from Albuquerque to Santa Fe is a bit over 60 miles, so that was a very short flight. However, interestingly enough, my first flight was around the same time on a TWA Martin 404 from Kansas City, Missouri's old Downtown Airport to Topeka, Kansas, also a distance of a bit over 60 miles. I left Kansas City years ago and currently live in ... Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The channel is fantastic. It must take quite a bit of research to get this done. I hope you gain lots of subscribers and views.
Thank you for giving these people the dignity and remembrance they deserve, rather than being just another aviation statistic
Rest In Peace to all who were lost and may we continue to comfort their families. Can you do Canadian Pacific 402 for your next video?
I’ll consider it, although I haven’t been able to find information about half the passengers, as they were from Hong Kong or Japan.
You can still see the aircraft remains from the Sandia Peak tramway or hike to them…

As always.... thankyou
You should do AirAsia qz8501 there’s a victim list + photos
I’ll add this to the list.
Could you do the victims of TWA flight 800
I’ve begun to work on it, although it may be a while, as I am currently working on both Germanwings 9525 and Pan Am 103.
