May 25, 2026. Memorial Day.
Monday, May 25th, is the anniversary of the deadliest plane crash ever on U.S. soil — the crash of American Airlines flight 191 at Chicago-O’Hare, in 1979. Design flaws and faulty maintenance practices led to the deaths of 273 people.
You can learn more about the accident in my 2024 post, here.
Details of the disaster are eerily similar to what befell UPS flight 2976 in Louisville this past November. Read about that one here.
