Flight 553 crashes in Chicago - How was President Nixon Connected?

Flight 553 crashed in Chicago December 8th, 1972. It struck homes just south of Midway airport as it fell from the sky. It was determined to be pilot error, but conspiracy theories carry on to this day. One of the passengers was Dorothy Hunt, wife of a Watergate burglar Howard Hunt. She was carrying $10,000 and what some believe to be smoking gun documents that could’ve brought President Nixon down.

I grew up a few miles from the crash site and was in the 3rd grade when this happened. Will never forget it. Also, in the interview with Ms. Cuculich early in the video, she states she doesn't know where her mother or sister were at that point. Sadly, they were the two people on the ground that perished in the crash.

[@bettertimeschi]

Wow…thanks for sharing. Very tragic.

2:00 how in God's name does a person who just survived this crash talk as descriptive as him and in such a calm voice is beyond me.

[@bettertimeschi]

He says he’ll never fly into Midway again. At that point, you would think it would be hard to even considering flying at all again.

Back in the day people were educated, had style, manners and discipline

Adrenaline and shock.

I love all these vintage videos

[@bettertimeschi]

I’m glad you’re enjoying! More
stories on the way.

[@strwbrywoman]

This was the flight Howard Hunt's wife died in!

[@bettertimeschi]

I want to look more into whether she actually had some smoking gun documents on her. She definitely had the 10k.

[@Dilley_G45]

And that black lady who was a news anchor. Her boyfriend was CIA. And two lawyers on a big case also died on the flight. Pure coincidence of course

[@sillylung]

Of course no body talks about that or the money she had on her. If you look up flight 533 the only video of any length is this one and the rest are less than a minute long

[@cedarabbey]

"None of that turned out to be true...!" Jesus, what a half-assed dismissal.-

[@arcanondrum6543]

Indeed. Fox is the King of Distraction. Extensive interviews of crash witnesses but just one phrase dedicated to debunking what are "business as usual" tactics of the CIA, and Hunt was definitely a member of the CIA.

Dulles sent a message to Howard Hunt,they Dulles guy was not playing games

[@jonathanlund590]

Why did that reporter think that he's going to get instant answers

[@odiecalodie]

I thought his questions were kind of irritating

[@user-kj7oy1oc6z]

Hard to watch, I lost my father on that plane.

[@cathytodd8260]

I am so sorry to hear about your father. My father was also on that flight. We thank God every day for bringing bringing him home safe. Injured but was home for Christmas.

[@davidrogers2085]

Dorothy Hunt was a sacrificial lamb.

[@bettertimeschi]

There are no coincidences.

[@rastalique8114]

This is covered in the film "JKF to 9/11 Everything is a Rich Man's Trick".

[@sillylung]

Such a good film. I try to watch it every 6 months or so

[@kevinkoski7570]

On your recommendation, I found it on Rumble. Great doc, thanks.

[@sillylung]

@@kevinkoski7570 it's on here still but I'm glad you were able to find it and watch it.

[@arcanondrum6543]

​@@kevinkoski7570 I got more right here. None are mine, I just want ppl to know.

[@markus5862]

Don Harris is one of the reporters here it sounds like. He lost his life in the Jonestown tragedy at the airstrip

[@bettertimeschi]

I never knew that about Don. I also have clips of reporting on Sam Giancana’s death.

[@turbosammy6085]

SAD!!!!SAD!!!!!!SAD!!!!!! What year did this tragedy happen??? I was born and raised in Chicago and still live here I never knew about this Plane Crash,the only one I knew about was the May 25 1979 O’Hare crash of Flight 191 that was Really Really Horrible!!!!

[@bettertimeschi]

December 8th, 1972. Oddly enough, on December 8th, 2005 a plane skid off the runway at Midway and onto the street.
