Here's a message from Eric Haak: Building on last week’s post, I’d like to share some rare images from the well-known 1972 plane crash near Midway Airport. I don’t think much background is needed here. According to CFD records, the incident occurred at 2:29 PM on December 8, 1972, at 3715-23 W. 70th Place. The emergency response was classified as a 3-11 alarm. These photos capture the recovery phase and were taken from a vantage point that the media wasn’t allowed to access. Two people on the ground lost their lives, along with 43 passengers and crew aboard the aircraft. Interestingly, 18 people survived the crash. There is a video of the event available on YouTube, but the quality is quite low. United Airlines Flight 553 crashed into a row of bungalows on West 70th Place in Chicago while approaching Midway Airport on Dec. 8, 1972, killing 43 of the 61 aboard and two in a home.
