I was on active duty when this happened but heard about it. I flew Pan Am a couple of times and liked the airline very much, it is too bad it went out of business. Thanks for another interesting, though tragic in this case, Louisiana story.
@@LouisianaDread he said he was on vacation with his family in Florida and he told his wife that something was calling him and he had to leave early to go back home!!!… he left his family in FL and when he got back, this happened. 💜
Our son's flight landed 5 minutes before the Pan Am flight crashed. We didn't know his flight had landed when we heard about the crash. So relieved when we got the call that it wasn't his flight. Terribly sad for the families of the victims.
I thought about this accident the other day. I had been in Metairie visiting my daughter and we went through Kenner as we were headed to the airport and I was wondering what neighborhood it happened in.
I work at MSY for 10 years. Theres alot of old heads that are still there too and nobody brings up this event evere. Not even during the training to get your badge unless I slowt through it lol.
@@LouisianaDread I agree. I live in Saint Rose which is about 6 miles from the old MSY airport. You'd think that such a tragic event would be talked about more often but it's not.
Thank you for sharing this story in history
Thanks for watching. It’s very sad but needs to be remembered.
I’ll never forget that day. I was 10 years old.
It’s a very sad event for sure.
I was 7 years old and lived 4 blocks east of the crash. I remember it vividly.
It must’ve been terrifying

Mr Aaron Broussard was mayor of Jefferson Parish when this happened… he shared so many stories with me that was unbelievable for little ole Kenner!!!
It’s incredibly sad

That must’ve been a stressful time
@@LouisianaDread It was!
When I was younger, a long time ago, I wanted to be a Pan Am stewardess! I lived in Lafayette at the time…so sad! 😢
It’s such a sad day

That’s the one!
Thank you 🙏🏽

Wild that they won’t mention it. Seems like a subject that shouldn’t be forgotten.

what’s with that little bubble on your left at the end screen?
That’s the Patreon logo just in psychedelic mode 😂
Here's yet another reason that I don't like plane's either!
I hate flying
It's like i'm actually from the state of Louisiana and I can't stand it!
Focus on the good!
@@LouisianaDread Nah I'm outta here!
@@LouisianaDread There's not enough good to focus on to me.
@@LouisianaDread Had enough of this place! I can't wait to leave again hopefully this time for good! Sick of everybody's bullshit!
@@LouisianaDread I can make my own decisions, I don't need anybody deciding my life for me. I'm a big boy.
