@Minecraftmonkeys I thought you were talking about seperate Parachutes for passengers before. Now that I realize it's for the entire aircraft, I don't see why there would be very many problems with that. I remember reading and seeing photographs of the McDonnell Douglas MD-81 prototype with such a parachute on its tailcone. Unfortunately, McDonnell Douglas decided not to use this design feature in the end. Boy that would have saved hundreds of lives.
I remember Sep 25, 1978 so clearly. A day I remember as clearly as other tragic days in our history. The tragic day PSA 182 crashed not far from my apt in North Park. I was at work that day and the news came immediately to us. I remember us looking out the windows, at that dark black smoke rising into the sky over North Park. Hoping for the best for everyone that sadly would not come.
I worked in the N. Long Beach area in the late sixties and remember a plane crash wherein the pilot of a twin cargo plane, knowing that he was going to crash, first steered for a park area, then at the last moment seeing some boys playing baseball, deliberated dove the plane down in a fatal crash, to save the boys. A witness said he saw the pilot's face at that last instant, their eyes met, and that the face held a perfect calm he knew would haunt him forever. Does anyone remember this crash?
I will post short video of my large tribute model of the 727 N53PS is pink colors. I love the city of San Diego and more should have been done to remember all who perished. There is a nice PSA display at the Balboa Park Aerospace museum in Balboa Park with a tribute placque there to remember the victims on that sad day. I was a 16 year old pilot at that time and remember seeing all the PSA trijets coming in and out of Fresno, where I grew up.
I have seen a lot of tributes...they are all appreciated. My father was 48 years old. He left two sons, 10 and 14. I am his daughter, I was 18. We still grieve the loss of our dad, Farrell W. Kimball. What a great man, what a tremendous loss. I join with you, who still weep, for all who perished that horribly fateful Monday morning. (I love you daddy)
I saw the the dead bodies of the passengers,on those "Faces of Death" videos. One traumatized woman on the ground said, " I was walking into my kitchen and a body came flying in through my window, covering me in blood".
@sddweller I saw that footage too, the Cessna falling. If I remember correctly it had no wings, and looked for all the world like a big, twisting arrow coming down. Does that sound right? I also some something else...I swear I saw a crushed human body in the branches of a tree. It looked completely FLAT...like an empty suit, but there was a hand sticking out of the sleeve. Did you see THAT?
@itsmegp46 Not as nearly? We are families that lost loved ones...please, this is a blog for PSA 182 Respectfully, I regret there were beautiful and wonderfully loved people who dies at Tenarif, God bless their families, but this site is for PSA 182. Respectfully, Lorie Kimball Belarde
Didn't the TSA determine that the PSA pilots would not have been able to see the Cessna at the time of the collision? The PSA Boeing 727 was nose up and the bottom portion of the right wing landed on top of the Cessna as it descended. Not heading directly into the path of the 727 like it was shown here.
Thanks for posting this video on PSA 182. I just completed a documentary about this crash and discovered how San Diego is still healing from this tragedy.
@SketchUp707 Yes, it was a sad day for everyone involved, there are still lots of people out there who cannot talk about the crash even 33 years later. I'm glad you liked the trailer for the doc.
I Always felt really heart broken when ever i watch this because i love the way the airline was with its smile on the plane, even the motto they had "Catch Our Smile" made me feel great! and thats why i say rest in peace to the lives lost and to PSA
@musicandmovieguy55 How awful. Glad you were spared. All these years later, that photograph of the jet going down is absolutely chilling--someone who witnessed it told a reporter "You could feel the people screaming." It must have been nearly as terrifying just to be anywhere near the impact zone.
I remember being down in point loma it was my first day on the job at VONS as a box boy i went out to get shoping carts and all i heard was a loud BOOM and the ground shook by the time i got back into the store everyone knew a plane had crashed .. it hit north park the Gay ghetto
@3ISAMAGICNUMBR I didn't say cars were safer, but you certainly have a better chance of surviving a car accident than a plane crash. Also, one plane holds multiple hundreds of people, whereas the majority of cars transport 1-2 people, hence there's more of them/more accidents. If every person had their own Sesna, while a crash in the air would still be less likely compared to a car crash, there would be higher death rates from air transportation.
I only saw this news footage the day it happened, but I'm 100% positive a news crew (at a nearby gas station doing a story on the gas-crunch) filmed pieces of the cessna as it was falling to the ground and nearby voices asking, "What's that"..."It looks like a plane".. I never saw that footage again.
@sddweller it's from KNSD. I am pretty sure they have the footage up, since they used it on the anniversary segment of the crash two years ago. I am surprised that footage wasn't used in Fresina's documentary: Return to Dwight and Nile.
@SketchUp707 As a matter of fact, I found completely different BUT NEW footage of the Cessna falling. The one I saw (which KNSD is not showing anymore), just shows debris falling from the sky in sight of the cameras at the gas station on University.
@sddweller i Remember that footage also on the news and i also never saw it again.it showed the camera following a tear shaped flame dropping to the ground then panning upward to see what appeared to be the wings following the flame there was a highway sign in part of the footage.
I was a senior at Chula Vista High 2nd period English class. I remember hearing a faint boom at 9:02 and for some reason took note. I drove by the area that Friday. The traffic was heavy due to all other sightseers. A friend and I walked our dogs on that street yesterday looking at the telephone pole and trees which to this day still have scars. We found the building roof seen in that photo of the plane in flames and were able to pinpoint the exact spot where that photographer stood.
I remember reading about that crash. It seemed like it happened a thousand years ago, but will never be forgotten. I miss that wonderful airline. It was so fun to fly back then.
I was at St. Augustine HS 5 blocks from the crash site and saw the plane coming towards us while we were on break. Within an hour we were sent home so our gym could be used as a morgue. As a freshman, that day is etched in my memory and brought our class closer together than anything in our lives. May all those folks, Rest in Peace.
I was groing up in Cleveland. This crash made the cover of time magazing. My brother wanted to become a pilot, so did I. This horrific crash made him reconsider his carreer plans. I was 9. I will always remember the pilot's last words "Love you Ma"
my name is liz and I was just 10 when the crash happened. I was in class and the windows to the classroom faced south. I was sitting in my seat just looking out the window when I saw the explosion in mid air. I remember it so well till this day.
I had a friend who was a kid back then and lived in San Diego about 3 miles east of where this happened. As he described it, he didn't see the jet go down but he heard the boom from the impact and witnessed the mayhem that followed. It gave me chills just to hear him tell the story.
I was 12 years old when it happened, living in National City. I stayed home from school that day, I wasn't feeling good. I remember hearing all these sirens. Ambulances were flying up the newly built 805 from Chula Vista. I didn't know what was going on... till I saw the live news feed from North Park.
@OttoJames I was also at 32nd st Naval Station and ran to the upper decks of the USS Prairie AD-!5 and watched as North Park burned. My brother in law and sister lived just a few blocks away from the carnage. The pilot tried to land this flight on the 805 but could not make it due to the damage from the cessena.
