- The day after the crash of PSA Flight 182 in 1978 in North Park, News 8 spoke to neighbors who were just coming to terms with what had happened in their quiet San Diego neighborhood.
I was 16 years old and living on Boundary Street when I witnessed the last moments of Flight 182. This year will Mark the 41st anniversary of this tragedy that forever haunts me. As I am the kind of person who can find a positive aspect somehow to fucking anything, I like to think this gave me the ability to accomplish things in the field of health-care that others wouldn't have been able to stomach. At least that's what I tell myself 41 years later still trying to make some sense of this.
The area where it occured is now all cleaned up with nice apartments. i know a friend who lives in the exact area it crashed. as if it never happened. no one even knows about it
Sorry that you had to witness this
Thanks for sharing that....cheers
You'll fuck anything with a positive attitude? Good to know. (JK)
I lived over on redwood st off nile ,was 16 then too.
RIP to all of the victims.
Plane crashes are so horrific and tremendously sad!
But they are fun for us viewers you got to admit.
It's incredible that the jet hit the street at 400 mph about fifty feet from the old lady's home and the house is untouched.
R.I.P. to the peoples who loss their life in that plane accident.
I will never forget that day
There could be a memorial park built somewhere in or near the crash site. That’s what was done to honor the victims of American Airlines Flight #191 which occurred exactly eight months later outside Chicago. The memorial contains the names of all the victims on board the plane and those on the ground. It could not be built at the crash site so it was constructed about a mile and a half near. It is a beautiful memorial.
A group has tried creating a memorial. Neighbors didn’t want one put in their neighborhood.
I drove from Santa Cruz and was visiting a friend. Their home was 1/2 mile, near the end of Vancouver. His boss, the service writer? for Ferrari-Porsche, lost his wife and child. The plane landed on their car. I stood at the corner of Dwight and Nile less than an hour after the crash. The 3rd or 4th home on Nile had a V in the roof, 12" or so deep, the V went into the lawn and the sidewalk was tilted. This is where the wing touched. Unlike at The WTC, the wing snapped off. (the wings Tips, even the Tail, sheared right thru the load bearing beams of The WTC.....) The plane landed more or less at the intersection. An engine was near by. I recall the tail snapped off and was in a tree?. (The tail of the WTC plane sheared right thru the load bearing beams......). The house across the street, had a 70 year old guy sitting in a rocking chair. Plane went by him, ...imagine. No Asphalt was damaged, and to this day I don't think the street has been repaved. (We all know what happened at the WTC). PSA 182 shredded but left the asphalt usable. There were many thousands of people at the site. And there was computer paper all over the area.
My parents lived on Boundary at this time, they walked to the crash site about a week after. I have no information if they were home or not during this time, as my dad has passed, (2011) and my mother may not remember as clearly
Ummm, you had 33 years to know whether they were home or not. ????
@@aerlial360 my mother brought it up on the 40th anniversary. I hadn't been born yet (1978)
@@bandittweintraub oh Sorry. 😃
"even what was going on today was not any less harrowing than the crash itself" someone, please reach through time and slap that reporter
Truly a bizarre thing to say.
The Plane crash was horrific and it is just as horrific that the city didn't make a memorial out the area affected instead they placed a stone somewhere around, it has been beyond the pale so many people perished and they deserved a better tribute.
There is a memorial for them inside the Air & Space Museum of San Diego
This tragedy was a stark reminder of how short life can be, to seek the LORD early as no one of us is guaranteed tomorrow !
Moments after the crash that hot Fall day, I saw the huge plume of jet black smoke ascending in North Park, from our CHS Campus in El Cajon.
I begged our teacher to turn on the TV to learn what it was.
Needless to say, the entire 45min period was consumed in watching images of this unfolding tragedy.
Our teacher led us in praying for the victims.
Later I would learn it crashed less than a mile from our duplex near Adams Ave.
RIP, in Jesus name, to those who perished !
Amen.
Journalists don't report like this anymore; articulate, thoughtful, insightful, free from hyperbole and emotionalism. In short, professionally.
HEARBREAKING AND SAD :(
I remember that day I was a student at Roosevelt jr high school
UnFortunately I don't live in San Diego but I remember this!
"Today there were no warnings for those who wanted to come in and gawk, just arrests." Uh, anyone there had the absolute right to come and "gawk" at anything they damn well pleased -- it's not a crime. I hope any who were arrested for coming to witness the damage to their neighborhood, community, or city sued for false arrest.
I think part of it was because people were looting.
They don't necessarily have the 'right' in an active investigation area.
Why the hell would anyone want to gawk at grisly scenes of death? I never understood that.
Yes, they had every right to secure the crash area!
...... they had every right to secure the area. They were conducting an investigation. Plus, I remember there were reports of looting.
John Parker at 1:48, but where's Ponch?

It's John Baker
Who is John Parker?

I would think it's up to the people who live in the neighborhood if there should be a memorial or not. All others who think it's a good idea will see it built and forget about it. The people who live there will see it every day. Let them decide...not random people online who think "something should be done".
I live in north park on boalba st. My ex husband was in the navy. That plain crush I will never foget.im from San diego
Don’t care about the lame bureaucratic reasons for not doing so, put a Memorial in that neighborhood.
Side note. The report by Ms. Clark was subject centered to the event. No “lessons” given in the story. No references to other “issues” that permeate current 2021 style of reporting, with agendas.
This was a terrible tragedy caused by a confluence of very unfortunate circumstances.
You are so right. We live in strange times.
I live in San Diego for the past 30 years, and I never flight to it's airport, I did once and it was horrible! The plane was literally forced to break because the runway ends literally on the water. It's an accident waiting to happen.
this literally not true and incorrect in so many ways. Sounds like you've never been there at all... period..
Hmm not sure if your speaking about the San Diego airport
@@vjeff777
Sounds like you've never flown a plane in there as a pilot.
It is the shortest single use major airport in the country.
Companies don't just let any pilots fly into SAN.
It is a complicated field.
@@CS-np2oo Right. That doesn't justify the use of "horrible" to explain and generalize the airport as a whole.
Sounds like you've never realized that someone doesn't need to have 10,000 hours flight time to say that its a bit far fetched to say San Diego has a "horrible" airport and that the runway ends "literally on the water"
Yeah, I’m calling BS. You’ve obviously never left from that airport. Maybe the comments are giving you the attention you are so desperately seeking.
RIP 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I passed by the neighborhood several times and would find orange sharp things with silver which im guessing were one of the remains of the PSA plane! I plan on going back to collect more soon
The people need to tell the media to get lost because they are tired of them. If you want talk to media they know how to find them but the media has no brain it's just get the story no matter how sad it is.
If they didn't get the amazing stories off them how would we enjoy this cool content LOL !!
How come we never see bits and pieces of human bodies?
You can see them if you'd like. Watch faces of death I'll warn ya it's pretty gnarly
We do.
Watch “ghosts of flight 182”, its warned about graphic images
At the time, September 15?, 1978 I was a second year student at the University of Cincinnati, In A.F.R.O.T.C. many cadets were talking about it : One particularly said "It's the WORST Disaster in Aviation History: He was RANDY STEIGER. Mentioning Him here is a Fresh Breeze for having had my Nose in my Latin Three textbook, all afternoon, concentrating on Marcus Tullius Cicero's PRO MANILIO: The Commission on POMPEY The GREAT! Plus, Everitt's Biography on CICERO! And this is only a few Days after EASTER SUNDAY! Did not ROD STEIGER play PONTIUS PILATE, in the 70s movie, suddenly seriously replying to JESUS "Do not I have power to Crucify Thee?" Well, the way this Nation of Ours is going all the years since then......! MEUM SECRETUM In Toto! But there is a powerful Ray of Hope, anagrammed from the Inscription, necessarily kept secret and privately confidential...! AS JESUS rose again, so Our Ship of State as well, in due time, from all its passed-away tragedies
Erratum: September 25, 1978, not 15.
What about the woman that came out to see what was going on and got sprayed with the blood
Oh good lord!!!
