Astonishing footage.

@crispycritterz Yeah, I've seen several air disaster docs about this event, a couple of which went into some detail about the behavior of AA towards the survivors--it really was shocking and disgusting what the airline and their lawyers put the families through. I'm glad they've been called out on it but I don't know either if their survivor policies really are more humane now or if any changes have just been cosmetic PR.

@depaul11 I remember he died of cancer in 1994.

if i paid all that money to use the admiral's club and they brought in a bunch of whiney relatives of economy class passengers, i would be pissed. i hope AA was decent enough to give refunds to the superior first class passengers they disturbed

I remember passing by the next day to go to the Indy 500 & seeing body part markers & smoldering..my late grand parents & uncle were driving in from NY & passing by right as it went down they saw the dive & fire plume...

Poor Catholic ethnics. Ethnically cleansed from Chicago by uncivilized southern protestants. Then an airplane crashes into their home. God bless them.

The way American Airlines treated the families of the victims was criminal. Do some research and find out. As far as I know, their policies have not changed.

The blizzard of '79 and 191's crash - it was a tough year in Chicago. My dad worked for TWA at O'Hara and he saw the fireball from his office. I remember how he and his coworkers considered the pilot of 191 a hero for not crashing in the trailer park or oil tanks and making this disaster far worse. My heart goes out to all of the victims, families and friends affected by this terrible tragedy.

Jim Gibbons who was on the scene was as good as it got in Chicago. He passed just some years back actually this whole news team was legendary on ABC7 for years.
