THIS STORY:
American Airlines Flight 191 was a regularly scheduled passenger flight operated by American Airlines from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois, to Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California. On May 25, 1979, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 operating this flight was taking off from runway 32R when it crashed into the ground after the left engine detached. All 258 passengers and 13 crew on board were killed, along with two people on the ground. With 273 fatalities, it is the deadliest aviation accident to have occurred in the United States.

Thank you Ron for posting this video about my sister Kathy. As time goes on people forget
or don’t know about this terrible tragedy they took the lives of so many innocent people. Thank God due to technology and redundant systems, there has never been a Airline disaster with fatalities larger than 191 in the United States. Thanks again.
Thanks Mike for taking time out to mention it. That was a tough one to do, especially for me as a teenager actually seeing it happen in the distance.
Your sister was an amazing woman. Condolences. Stay healthy and safe my friend.
My sisters Friend Jacks mom remember that day. She was walking home from eghs and she saw black smoke and the ground was shaking
My sisters friend jacks mom remember that day she saw black smoke and ground was shaking pretty heavy
Wish u could come to New Zealand Ron great history here ..The history I've learnt from your Story's thank-you 👍⚘
I am so sorry for your loss 🕊️🙏
Ron you are so kind and compassionate The video was educational but tragic, thank you for remembering flight 191
Kathy Adduci was my babysitter. I’m not kidding. She worked at South Sub with my Dad- she would baby sit us when my parents went on vacation. I was only about 10 years old when this happened-but I will never forget my Mom coming into my room to tell me she was on that flight. She was obviously very upset..she started to braid my hair and told me what happened. My parents went to her services. I also remember meeting the mother of one of her friends who was on that flight... she worked at the same hospital.
wow Heidi...you were so close to it all....amazing.. RIP Kathleen. Thanks for writing.
Was it Kathy DeYoung?
@@gussmoberg7738 if Rhonda’s mom is Kathy DeYoung, the. yes. It was a long time ago.
Hi Heidi, yes I saw it thanks for sharing. ❤️
Im from the western burbs and i was in 8th grade when this happened and remember it very much...I'm sorry you have had to deal with that at a young age. Thanks for sharing✌️
Very sad & Heartbreaking 😢😢😢 May the Adduci family & The Flight 191 victims Rest In Peace 😢😢
Terribly tragic. Thank you for remembering them!
Being from the area near O'Hare our family did not fly for quite a while after this happened. I think we were "shell shocked" this felt like a 9/11 in intensity in the aftermath at a time long before 9/11. So scary and terrifying beyond belief - made you realize the utter destruction an error can cause. All the families affected. It was enormous. RIP ✈✈✈
Especially if it lands in a residential area. When PSA 182 went down there were bodies and parts of bodies on roofs, yards, in trees, even in people's houses. One body was strapped in a seat in someone's kitchen, another was in a car windshield. Decades afterwards, people would sometimes find little pieces of the airplane or a piece of bone. One resident found a finger. I suppose these were between houses, in bushes, in the ground, under shingles or in curved clay tiles that some houses in the southwestern U.S. have.
@@carolhutchinson7763 seriously?... Why? 😒🤫
Only 22 years after my cousin died on flight 175, and believe it or not Kathleen was born on my mothers birthday, April 18-
Thanks for remembering flight 191, tragic story. Hope all the people rest in peace.🙏🏻😢👍🏻👋🏻
So sad. You just never know when your time is up. RIP to all that perished in this crash. 🙏
So sad. Kathleen was such a pretty girl. Beautiful memorial with all their names. Tried to read them all in rememberance.
Kathleen died on my dad's 29th birthday. He died in 2009. This is a sad and tragic event. You have compassion when telling people's stories. Thank you.
Hearing that plane in the background at the end.......brought it home. RIP to your friend and all who lost their lives
An absolutely tragic story that brings home the true story behinds the news headlines.
But also your professionalism explains how and why this tragedy happened.
You really do make the best graveyard exploration videos.
Was an awful tragedy. I was living in a nearby suburb (Park Ridge) at the time, could see the thick, billowing black smoke rising into the sky. Just west of the trailer park, at the corner of Touhy and Elmhurst, there stood multiple fuel reserve silos. Its about a good stones throw away from where the impact occured. If it had crashed into them, there is no telling the amount of devastation the area would have suffered. Keep up your good work, Ron! God bless!
It never ceases to amaze me, the power of people who come together, and gather around to assist in these tragedies. The memorial of names on the bricks, is beautiful, and heart felt. The many who helped out in other ways, those that mourned for the families in compassion. It lifts my spirits to know, there are still real humans out there.
I'm so sorry about your friend. That is a lot of people that died that day. RIP to all of them.
I WOUNDER HOW THOSE AA/CONTINENTAL AIRLINES MECHANICS FELT AFTER THE CRASH,I WOULD OF HUNG THEM
@@craigbosko2229 Trust me. They did not get away scot free. They likely never got a job ever again in anything related to aviation or repair again, and they were likely haunted by that guilt all of the rest of their life.
Such a terrible tragedy I hope the Adduci family are rip and all the passengers and pilots rip too 🙏🏼❤️
Thank You! There were two people from my hometown, Point Pleasant,West Virginia on the flight,
Dr. Roy Eshenaur and his wife Marian. Dr. Roy had just retired, they were going to Tahiti for a vacation.
They were a very integral part of our community, Dr.Roy probably delivered most everyone born in this town during his working years.
Was very glad to see their names on the memorial.
Our town is also where the
Silver Bridge Disaster happened on December 15, 1967 . That could be an interesting video.
I read the story and found their photos, they were a powerful couple, Dr Roy was a professional, smart, human being. They were both 72 years old, they would be 114 around this year (2022)
That day my Mother and I were just stepping outside after work in Schaumburg and saw the fireball rise in the sky. We knew whatever had happened was very bad.
I was less than a mile away delivering blueprints, 20 years old....I thought it was the fuel storage tanks, I felt the heat....unreal.
@@FacesoftheForgotten Wow! You seen the crash?!
@@debbiebutler3815 No, we didn't see the plane crash. We saw a fireball and smoke go up in the sky. We were many miles away from the crash.
I was in the parking lot at Maine West. My Mother and I felt the ground shake, saw the fireball and smoke. Maine West is a little less than a mile from the site.
😎t-shirt, he was 1 of the best.....RIP Eddie 🎸 & all who lost their lives on that horrible day. 🥺
he could rip it. loved and love Van Halen...still listen.
@@FacesoftheForgotten we had the best music! In my opinion😉
@@FacesoftheForgottenEddie died the day before my 56th birthday. His death was as traumatic as the crash. Neither of which I will ever get over. I remember them all and will never forget.🥺😔
My Aunt Mary was on this flight. Never got to meet her. Born in a Bog in Ireland and immigrated. Became a journalist
God bless the little children. Beautiful memorial. RIP to all the victims. The stones here are so beautiful.
How sad for the Adduci family! Losing their daughter, the stress of it probably had a lot to do with the breast cancer recurrence in her mother and then her father committing suicide. At least they are all together now and at peace. I love the monument they have.
It's like the whole family died in that plane crash. :(
You dont go heaven if you commit suicide you are taught that in catholic education.
@@cherylgray4070 Well, I would like to think that if a person is so troubled, and in so much pain, that they feel taking their life is the only way out, that God would have mercy on them. We don't know what all might drive a person to that desperation, but God is a loving and all knowing God. Only he knows the answer to that, but a person would have to be very troubled to go through with ending their own life. I don't think the Bible specifically says that a person who ends their own life has committed an unpardonable sin. My heart sure breaks for this young ladies father. He had been through a great deal of sorrow for sure.
@@Summer77700 Thanks for your kind words. I'm sure the pain and grief my grandfather endured after losing his daughter and wife was unimaginable. If there is anything to learn from the bible, it is to have compassion and sympathy for others; although it is clear from a certain someone on this thread not everyone payed attention during Catholic Education.
@@alexadduci5505 You're right, we should all treat others the way we want to be treated. Sadly, we don't see enough of that. May God bless and keep you!
Plane crashes are sadder than sad occurrences and pilots are awesome. You just know they'll be fighting to save lives til the very last second. Ron thanQ so much for helping us to remember those lost souls. Faces of the Unforgotten in a way. Love from across the pond.
Women back in 1900-1980 probably even b4 that was extremely beautiful n they did hav all this makeup, expensive cosmetic surgeries, or photo editing stuff like most women today do!!! Women than had natural beauty that was absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
Very true! Kathleen Adduci was a very pretty girl! May she RIP
Very sad but at least they are not forgotten. Nice job on explaining about the aircraft stuff. I never heard about this incident until now.
This airplane crash was unbelievably tragic. The story of Kathleen you told broke my heart. No doubt this tragedy was too much for her parents to endure. I grew up at O'Hare with a boarding pass in my hand. American was the main airline I flew on going between Tucson/Phoenix, Chicago and onto Indianapolis. This airplane crash scared me so bad, I refuse to fly anywhere on American again. May all these people who lost their lives rest in peace.
🕊🙏🏻🕊
My ex-wife was an Army nurse recruiter in Michigan and was supposed to be on that flight to visit her parents in San Diego. As I recall her connector flight was late and when she got to the gate the plane was pushed back so she missed the flight. This was before cell phones so the ex was trying to find a pay phone to call her parents when the plane crashed. She did get through to her parents and her office before they knew the flight she was supposed to be on had crashed.
IM A WHITE KNUCKLE FLYER 🛫 I CANT IMAGINE ALL THOSE PEOPLE LOST FOREVER 😔 😪, THIS FRIGHTENS ME TO NO END , GOD HEAL THE FAMILIES LEFT BEHIND 🙏 💔, MY HEART BREAKS FOR ALL WHO PERISHED , RIP 🙏🕊🥀
I don't fly. I figure if I'm that afraid it will ruin my trip because your whole stay will be knowing you have to return the same way. No thanks. I'd rather enjoy beautiful scenery in a dome car or if it's ugly desert outside I can at least look down in people's yards and see what kind of dog and swimming pool they have. 😁
RIP to everyone on that flight, thanks Ron for remembering close to 200 people perished on that horrific flight, hopefully maintenance became very stringent and a revised format , checking and rechecking the engines , reform was placed in affect after the accident-may all that lost their life’s RIP.
@@carolhutchinson7763 I'm the same way. I just can't. I have friends that are scared but fly anyway. My siblings and kids think nothing of getting on a plane so I don't know what happened to me.
@@SamtheMan0508 my dad was the same way. You couldn't get him on a plane if you paid him.
Rip to all the people who lost there lives in the plane crash.very sad all them lives lost.
I have a friend who lives in Evansville Ind , he told me a story about the 1977 air crash that killed the whole men’s basketball team , one boy was injured and did not make the flight however 2 weeks later was killed in a automobile accident. Incredible.
so sad....they were all meant to die...
Yes I'm from Evansville indiana. The entire University of Evansville basketball team and coaches died in that crash which wasnt far from the actual airport. Every year it its remembered on the news and the reporters who were present at that time till have difficulty talking about it. We also had a C 130 national guard plane crash in the 90s close to the airport in the parking lot of a restaurant next to a motel off the same hwy 41. Many people died from the resteraunt, which I was on my way to have breakfast with a friend at, the motel and all soldiers on the plane. I'm sure there are articles online for both instances
@ Graham Post. That is incredible.
I lived in Wheeling at that time, my baby was a month old. My son heard the icecream truck so we went outside to buy icecream as I looked north I could see the smoke from the airplance crash. So very sad. My Aunt lived in a mobile home across from the crash.
yep.....I saw it too---- live, 20 years old and delivering blueprints on touhy avenue....less than a mile away. I felt the heat...man, it was bad, thought it was from the fuel tank storage farm.
I get how Kathleen’s mom’s breast cancer returned after losing her beloved daughter. My son died in 2017 and I was diagnosed with lung cancer 2 years later. Never smoked. But I just think the heartbreak of losing a child is so overwhelming to the mind, body, and soul. May all those folks RIP 🕯🕊♥️
What a TREMENDOUS loss for a crash. A lot of names there!! What a lovely memorial. I see those pics of the plane in the sky sideways and I have seen the computer generated replay from the cockpit - it is beyond awful. Can you imagine the level of terror you would feel while the plane falls? I cant wrap my head around it. May all the souls from that crash rest in peace and rest in peace to your friend Daryl as well! Lovely tribute, Ron!! 😇🙏💕
I remember this crash. So sad.
Thank you for adding your knowledge as a pilot to help us understand how this disaster happened. How sad. Some seriously bad luck there, bloody hell.
I have so much passion and respect for those who have passed..God bless you❤ from UK xxx
Finally a good video about this tragedy. I will never forget that day I was standing in the Army enlistment center with my right hand raised taking the oath wilshire Blvd Los Angeles. The military people in another room had a radio playing when suddenly began shouting a plane had just crashed. I literally still had my right hand raised. I had never flown before. I was then whisked to the airport heading for Fort Jackson S .C. After boarding and takeoff it was then I learned from the stewardesses whispering and weeping that flight 191 was headed to L.A. where I was departing. My flight crew knew some of them.
Remember this well I was a freshman in H.S a very tragic day, love the EVH shirt Ron he was the best.
So sad this horrific tragedy. May they rest in eternal peace. Thank you for your respect and compassion for all these lost precious lives that are gone. God Bless you for all your goodness...
A family friend was a fire fighter and was called to the scene. He had a lot of nightmares afterwards.
Extremely tragic event for all involved. I do appreciate your grace and reverence in telling Kathleen's story. You make those you speak of very important and the details about their lives make them recognizable in the context of the story. I could not help but note that as you were bringing the video to a close, the sound of a jetliner taking off is heard in the background. It somehow makes the story all the more sadly poetic and impactful.
All those lives,..... Fate can often be as mysterious as it is cruel. May they all rest in peace.
Thank you for another poignant video in your quest to remember the lost. Your videos keep us in touch with our humanity good sir.
My mom and her friend Chris Erghott worked for American Airlines and Chris is from Chicago and was a nurse besides working for American and she was working at O'Hare when the plane went down and because of her medical training she assisted on the crash site to look for survivors. You couldn't asked her about that day because she couldn't talked about it. Thank you Ron for doing this, RIP to the victims.
Kudos to the kids who did the wall. You know our life is in Gods hands. RIP Kathleen and all aboard that flight. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Ron. Great simple explanation of this tragedy. It truly was a tragic event that happened on this flight. Great job on this and all your videos. Take care and be safe.
I can’t , nor do I want to, imagine the awful guilt her mother must have experienced 😔
I know, I think it killed her....so sad.
Well that would be a shame, because she's guilty of absolutely nothing. The guilty ones are the idiots who left that forklift there with half done work and no instructions. The documentary I saw on this said that the whole way the work was done on that engine was wrong. I would be a wreck if I had been responsible for the deaths of all those people.
@@carolhutchinson7763 you are so right!
Yay, US Rep Jan Schakowsky values history and public education.
Beautiful, respectful segment-thank you!
As an ex flight attendant every crash makes my blood run cold. Just imagining their final moments knowing what was going to happen. You might be interested in reading a book on the Mt Erebus crash in 1979, Air New Zealand tried to blame the tech crew and this was written by a friend of the Capt. Many interesting stories within the main one.
That memorial was beautiful!
Such a tragedy. I can't even imagine the fear and heartbroken the families must be. I was just 16 when this happen, I do recall hearing about it.
I have never flown before. And I never will. I have always been to scared to fly. Thank you ! another great video. So sorry for the loss of ur friend. R.I.P. to them all.
Thank You for Remembering the people who passed away
Thanks for sharing memories about your friend Daryl.
i remember that day like yesterday. it was a friday i was bowling at marzanos miami bowl i just finished and had just gotten into my car it was about 330 in the afternoon and i turned on the radio and heard about it. memorial day weekend coming up. how sad. being in chicago made it even worse. great job filling in the details and letting many people know about it the years go by fast and many things are lost in time. this memorializes it.
I can relate to this story as I grew up in Homewood IL. and graduated from Homewood-Flossmoor High School (before she did). Also, I was a flight attendant who flew the DC-10 a lot to Hawaii, and was flying for Western Airlines, which became Delta Airlines, and living in San Francisco, so this story hits close to home. I also had a car very similar to hers (a red 1979 Camaro Z-28) It's so very sad! She was so beautiful.
My thoughts are with the families left behind. They mentally relive that tragedy every day. Nothing you can ever forget or get over. Just no words.
My youngest son and i were supposed to be in the twin towers on 9-11 but my sister died and I had too help her kids. She died 9-1-01 i believe it was my sister watching out for me. We had the father and we had just meet.
I used to manage a retail store in Kentucky. A young woman was getting married and her grandmother was going to walk her down the aisle. The girls parents died in the Beverly Hills Super Club fire. So, the grandmother had to raise all the children. So tragic. Bless you for taking on that responsibility.
My cousin was on flight 175, rip to your sister, scary to hear the plane flying over at the end.
I'm so sorry for all these losses. May all these deceased people RIP 🙏. What a tragedy!
This was indeed a sad tragedy, but while scrolling through the comments, I see your vibrant and beautiful face. I'm still sad about the incident, but knowing that you are alive makes me happy.
I Know I sound like a real creepo. Sorry. I just had to talk to you 🙂
Stay safe love 💕
God Bless them all. Thank You!
Heartbreaking 😢😢😢 Thank You 🙏 for remembering the victims 😢😢✝️✝️♥️♥️ Love the T-Shirt on you ♥️♥️
The picture of her car brings back so many memories. Had the exact same year but mine was chocolate brown and bought used in 85. RIP to all that past in this tragedy 💗🕊️. Bless that lady and all those children that put up the memorial for them 🙏
I watched this episode of Air Crash Investigation, and it was heartbreaking. There was nothing they could do to avoid the crash. Heads should have rolled for this accident. Shortcuts and cost cutting. My sympathies for the loss of your friend, Daryl. So young.
20:09 to tell you the honest truth, that is Kathleen hearing Ron talk about her, it’s so powerful you find a sign your loved one or someone you knew is watching over you, it’s just so shocking like-
John Hi from WI. This was a terrible plane crash. Thanks for rememberiiing all these people. Your right, God is in charge and allot of people went home to Him that day. An a reminder to those that are still living. We do not know when that moment will come. So please (fill in the rest of this in your own thoughts). Thanks for another great video !
I am sorry about the death of your best friend. Thank you for sharing that memory with us. God bless him and his family and you and all the rest of his and your friends.
thank you
My deepest condolences to you and your friends wife, for his loss. I was 8 years old and I remember when this happened. May all the souls who parishes in this horrible tragedy be rejoicing in heaven with the Lord. Blessings to all surviving families who lost a loved one. Also for the loss of your other friend.
Ron, thank you for the information about the mechanical aspect of the plane. Very interesting! So very sad about the Aducci family! I hope Kathleen and her parents are RIP. I spent many years “up north” in Wisconsin. My hubby and I built a cabin on the high falls flowage ten miles out of Crivitz. Twenty years over the 70’s - 90’s up north! Have friends who have a place in Tomahawk. So sorry to hear about your friend! I hope you and he made many wonderful memories there!
Criviz, very nice!! we are in Mercer now, love love love the NORTHWOODS.
My former babysitter/family friend saw the airplane when it crashed . I think that was the reason she was not a fan of flying airplanes, until she and her husband flew to Hawaii in 2016 for their honeymoon
I remember that day. It was my son's eighth birthday. My husband just came home from the airport. He worked for United. Horrible crash! Just like that all those people were gone. RIP
Ty for remembering all lost on flight # 191... your dear friend . 🙏🏽❤️🥺.. this video was very hard for me to watch but I pushed through it .. saddens me to hear all lives lost & just brought memories of my cousin who passed away also in a flight #301 in Laos .. my cousin 22 .. copilot just graduated flight school was asked to take the place of his friend due to an illness .. as he did .. sadless that that October 16, 2013 he & all 49 passengers all expired ... .. ( sorry until this day I will never forget when we got that call & to hear my mom scream ) it just until this day just haunts me .. 🙏🏽❤️🥺.. again my deepest condolences to all 🙏🏽❤️💐🥺❤️🙏🏽
They should check every bolt and plates and .... well everything before flying. It dosent matter how long it takes. Its very sad to hear
that 2 of the family member was died in a planecrash and died from cancer :( .. I wouldnt imagine and take own life. Just brakes
my heart. I would be heartbroken if mom and one of my brother was killed (witch i am very close ) I couldnt work, and it would take very long time to go to work again.
Rest In Peace Adduci family and no more pain for you
Thank you Ron for this story a heartbreaking tragedy...it has been so long since I have thought of this accident..may they be at peace, all these people had lives and stories and loved ones...may they never be forgotten, I am grateful you did not let this fade away...God Bless you Ron. And your friend Daryl RIP
The picture of that plane is chilling and I've seen it many times in other videos . Good and respectful video as always. So sorry this happened and condolensces to family and friends.
I will never forget that day. I saw the devastation, smoke and fire, from work. Just horrible.
It may not have been planned Ron, but the sound of the overhead jets at the end of the video was haunting and left me with goosebumps again......👍❤️🌹😢
yep, I was a mile away..thought it was fuel storage tanks.
@@FacesoftheForgotten so did I !! It really left a scar and a fear of flying on Chicagoland travelers for years.
I hope your channel keeps growing!
I hope so too!🤗👏
He Deserve it.
Incredibly sad. Thanks for this video.
I remember this RIP
May they all rest in peace who died in this terrible incident. I hope in time that you can make it to Pennsylvania and do a vlog on flight 93 from the hijacking who had all the passengers pray and prepare for their deaths on the phone with their families sacraficing their lives for the country after they heard about the twin towers and Pentagon on the phones prior to the decision to die for the country.
Those fighting the terrorist to save other's on the ground was honorable but the country really needs to keep those honorable people and their families in our hearts for their sacrafice. That crash has effected me personally and I am sure the country just like this 191 crash had done there.
I hope they believed they had a chance to live. There's usually a commercial pilot onboard who's returning home or to an assignment and hopefully the kitchen would have knives.
@@carolhutchinson7763 ... They had a few knives on 93, not many however, the one pilot was killed by the terrorist immediantly once they made themselves known and the second was killed shortly after the heros on the plane attempted to take back the plane fighting them off. One passenger had flight experience but of course the remaining two teriorist fought strong where he had no chance to get behind the controls. I do know the staff was instructed to grab anything to use as a weapon before the heros was planning on taking over the plane. I respect all those who have their lives for the country. And respect the heros for having the unabled passangers prepare in prayer and instructions with their families prior to sacrificing their lives.
One of the heros was a trained fighter and the terrorist were trained also before the hyjacking. It was situation that nobody Should ever need to be in . As a trained fighter former martial arts instructor from the Dade county public schools (Ives judo team) in north Miami Beach and previously served in the armed forces,this incident really hurt. I would of gladly died onboard that plane in exchange for hostage release with the other gentleman.
My mom was cabin crew back in the late 1960s, she was sitting on the jump seat at the back of the plane and the door next to her flew off its hinges onto the runway. Luckily the plane was the pint v2 so they were able to abort the flight. My dad worked for British airways and one of his colleagues was sucked out the cockpit window and had to be held by his legs so he wouldn’t go any further . They managed to land the plane thank goodness. I still love flying and tried many times to follow in my moms footsteps, sadly my height has always been against me as I am only 5’2 and would only get through some of the interviews :(
Sorry it was v1 which means the plane can abort take off. V2 you cant! My bad x
yes, was going to say V1.
unbelievable tales, ty.
Too many plane crashes. RIP to all those souls. Bless you for doing this.
I remember this crash very well indeed, as a result of it I was stuck in Dallas for a week, RIP to all those who died.
So, So Heartbreaking, but ty thank you for remembering her and the flight.
R. I. P. All who lost their lives such a sad story thanks for taking us with you, and to see your friend as well xx stay safe xx
I remembered that so well, it was a very sad day to see it happen in Chicago. Thank you Ron, for you respecting those who died that very day. Went to Las Vegas a month before with my siblings.
Such a sad story. Nobody is promised tomorrow! I worked as a Manager at our local airport but i'm terrified of airplanes!! We had n air show n they had tours of older planes. I went on a tour n when i got to the front the "Pilot" started up the plane! I dont even remember n e thing until i was about 2 blocks from the plane. My kids said i freaked n pushed thru the crown, ran down the stairs n across the runway! They said they never saw me run so fast. Since then, i cant b near a plane! I tried to squash my fears by working at the airport but even after 5 years as Manager, i was n am terrorized by airplanes! I cant even imagine how the people in this plane who saw the engine fly off knew they only seconds to live. Thank u for sharing this video!
A friend of mine was supposed to be on the Indonesian flight..talk about fate, he transferred flights I think he said crazy
Such a sad tragic event, all those lives lost in one quick instant.😔😢 The guilt that Kathleen's mother must of had during that time, so heartbreaking for the family... And all the other families that lost a loved one in that tragic accident. I hope all those souls are resting in peace.
Sorry about your dear friend passing away Ron. He's probably been checking in on you now and then watching over you.💜
Ver Nice of you Sir to
Take your time to Remember
Your friend and those people
That passed...🙌 💔
My heart and my prayers
goes out to them🙏
Rest In Peace 💐🌹🌺🙏
Great video as always, thanks Ron 👍🏻
Thank you sir.
Can you imagine the fear you would have had knowing your going to die, unbelievable . God rest those poor souls
Hi Ron, this is just so sad, so many lives lost and so many left behind to pick up the pieces. All my love to the families and friends, may the victims of this horrible tragedy rest in peace and know they are not forgotten. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖
Thanks Ron for sharing the stories. And thanks for sharing about your best friend.
Very well explained! That was a horrific accident and so fortunate it did not hit the trailer park. As always, well done.
Dear Ron,
Listening to you speak about this tragic event was very emotional. I can honestly say if l was any one of the people lost on that flight that day. Having you speak about it with honor and great compassion, l would be smiling. You brought tears to my eyes. You have a great voice l am sure they heard you wherever they are. Thankyou 🐨🇦🇺
Alba
You tell us the best stories as if we were really there! Thank you!
My mother grew up in an isolated village in the North of the St Lawrence, Quebec. I heard many stories about the bush pilots who lived in or frequented the village. I have a profound respect for bush pilots. They're probably some of the best pilots in the world. So respect to you, Ron. Is there anything you don't do? Next video, "Did I ever tell you guys about that time I walked on the moon?" LOL
Kudos to those children and school who made that lovely memorial. May the gods smile upon them. That was bad maintenance practices btw. Anytime a mechanic/s work on something it should always be completed by them, aka overtime. It's a common practice within industrial manufacturing, the automotive industry, etc. So you'd think the same practice would have applied to airlines?! I predict that AA wanted to save pennies, overtime, by having the following shift finish bolting the engine back on. All within reasoning btw but that was purely negligent on their behalf. The Adduci family suffered way too much tragedy. That poor father who suffer so much that he took his life. Such a freak'n shame.
My condolences for your best friend, Daryl. Thank you for sharing his life with us. Every time you find yourself out in nature may he walk beside you in spirit.
ha, funny. I'm just a regular guy!
Thank you for the story
Very sad RIP 🙏
Wow, I remember this tragedy. So heartbreaking. Rest In Peace to all the lives that were lost. I have not been on a plane since 1993 and every time I was on one my heart was in my mouth. These accidents did not help me any whenever I was on one and because of this I will not go on a plane anymore much to the dismay of my family in California , Florida, and other parts of the US.
There are other nicer ways to travel; they just take longer, that's all. But you get to see interesting things along the way. Maybe you could think about buying a motorhome or camper van.
I would love to do that Carol, but I am on SSD and a widow. I have Traveled by plane to California, Arizona, and Florida, but not since 93. I have also traveled by car to places such as Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, PA, Maine and a few others. It is beautiful seeing all the scenery when driving. I would love to have a motor home, it was my parents dream, but I am 63 and if I have someone to drive with me, I would love to see other places. Thank you for commenting Carol, and have a wonderful night.
As a newly turned 19-year-old when that accident happened, I was scheduled to fly about two weeks after in route to my home on PA after school got out. It scared the heck out of me knowing I'd be connecting through the same place all of those people violently died. It was big, big news at the time. I, for one, will never forget about that flight.
Such a sad story Ron and thank you for sharing. Have a great week.
Fantastic memorial wall...great design...Beautiful.
May they all R.I.P.
love this channel. a little side note to this episode and i don't mean any disrespect to those who died or the ones left behind. ollie bean murdered a young mother and then tried to tell her family and authorities that she was on this flight. the mothers name was diane chorba...may they all rest in peace, and may the loved ones find comfort in knowing they are in Gods hands...
Diabolical! That is the mind of a murderer....calculating how to draw attention away from what they did.
Thank you Ron for this story. At the time of this tragic incident I was working at McDonnell Douglas building the aircraft and my husband worked at one of the airlines at LAX. So this accident affected us as well. He was a mechanic and had done many engine changes using the correct engine hoist that was engineered to raise and lower the engine to the pylon. This incident was so preventable as you know. When all of the DC-10’s were grounded it was incredibly difficult for us working for the company knowing that it was an incredible airplane ✈️. We had to keep our chin’s up and continue making the Best aircraft in the world as we heard incorrect stories about our planes and the company that we loved. So thanks for telling this story and sharing the short life of that wonderful woman 👩 who was just starting out in life. Take care, Leslie
