So intresting to me to listen to the amount of "mis-information" and downright untruths that always occur at the behest of a horrible tragedy like this, especially aircraft accidents!!

I remember this. Absolutely devastating. A little girl actually survived the crash. So heartbreaking even today. Thank you for sharing this.

I remember being a 8 year old kid at the time and seeing this all over the news here in Memphis TN when this happened back in 87 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💙💙❤

@ericjones I was only 3 so don’t remember but read about it years later. Memphis probably got a lot of coverage because of the NWA hub there. From I understand it was obviously a major story here in MSP too.

WCCO was covering this story as Northwest Airlines was headquartered in Minneapolis at the time
