There will probably never be an airline accident as tragic as AA 191 in this country again. In 1979, it was common to operate massive wide-body jets on domestic routes. Today, the same route is typically handled by planes with half the capacity. Many of today's improved safety features in aviation were a direct result of this horrific event. If there's any solace to be taken from AA 191, it's that even some 40 years after it happened, America has not experienced a higher death toll from any commercial airline accident. The industry learned volumes from such a tragic sequence of events.

I live in the trailer park. I do get recurri g dreams of being in a plane which is about to crash land. It lands. And my co passengers are hungry for food that me and the pilot try to bring for them from nearby airport cafetaria. Other such wierd dreams like being pushed into a bottomless pit. I did not know about the crash. I got these dreams. The dream of going downhill etc then i investigated. I am a Hindu. Hindus believe in feeding the dead ancestors when they visit once a year on their anniversary date. The belief is that they exist in a different time dimension where 1 year of Earth time is 1 day for them. Shiva is the Lord of Time. Kashi is the holiest Hindu city where ruling diety is Lord Shiva. The city is on banks of river Ganges. Pilgrimage to that city is mandatory for a Hindu. The city is full of burning ghats and cremation grounds. The purpose of visiting that place by Hindu is to offer food to his ancestors. Somehow that city is located in such a space where time dimensions coincide?.The food is let loose in Ganges and is carried away by the flow of the river. When not in Kashi Hindus perform the ceremony near any flowing body of water or even in a pail of water which is thrown into a river or fed to plants. I am writing this because I think a Shiva temple should be constructed at the crash site. I think the growing violence, killings, stress in cities like Chicago is probably caused by the unpeace that exists in the nether world. Otherwise how do we explain the mass shootings by mad people every once in a while in the Western world or even the heedless violence and terrorism in Islamic world? India is a land of peace...Om Shanti Om

Just drove by there for the first time. Will be 41 years this May and I still feel so sad for the victims and their families...

I was walking home in Bensenville and saw the mushroom cloud. I thought it was WW3 for a minute. Then I realized it was a big fire from a plane crash. Very sad day. Memorial on Lee/Touhy.
