Mood:
don't askA riveting true life story that spawned 2 books and 2 movies
It was 35 years ago on this date, December 29, 1972 that
just hours after departure from New York City an
Eastern Air Lines flight crashed into the Florida Everglades
It was the first crash of a wide-body aircraft.
Final reason be there such a thing at the final tally?
Two tiny malfunctioning light bulb indicators that had burnt out.
To make it all the more harrowing, although 101 people would die in the mishap, stories survive to be told to this day of spirits from the crash that may not have found their rest .
