Plane Crash

Tuesday, August 16th, 2022 marks 35 years since Northwest flight 255 bound for Arizona from Detroit Metro crashed just moments after taking off.

35 years ago this month.

Investigators are searching for the cause of a plane crash that claimed the life of a 23-year-old Linden man on Friday (12/10).

On August 16, 1987, one of the worst aviation disasters in U.S. history took place as Northwest Flight 255 crashed shortly after taking off from Detroit Metropolitan Airport, killing 156 people.

Check out this footage of a crazy plane crash in Taiwan. The footage shows the plane going down over a highway. Just before it hits the river, the plane clips a taxi cab it was flying over.

A 7-year-old girl walked roughly one mile through thick woods to a house for help after a plane that she was in with her family crashed. The girl used her her uninjured arm to pull herself out of the plane and seek help.

I am not a person who loves flying. I am anxious, uncomfortable and quite frankly scared. If I was on this plane I would be losing it.

Talk about lucky!  Nine skydivers and two pilots were out for a jump and the two planes collided.  Luckily, the survivors were ready to make their jump and were thrown clear of the wreckage.  One plane was destroyed in a ball of the fire, the other made it to the ground with wing and propeller damage.  Check it all out here.

Fred Hayes just happened to be out filming planes as they were coming into San Francisco Airport on Saturday and ended up getting some shocking footage of Flight  214 as it crash landed. You can just hear in his voice how shocked they were.
