Ind. community marking 1960 crash that killed 63
March 12, 2010 11:18 EST
CANNELTON, Ind. (AP) -- Memorial events are set to recall the day 50 years ago when a plane plummeted nose first into a southern Indiana bean field, killing all 63 people onboard.
A stone monument has long marked the site near the Ohio River town of Cannelton where a Northwest Airlines plane crashed in 1960 as it headed from Chicago to Miami.
But the community will hold its large-scale commemoration this weekend of the March 17, 1960, crash of the Lockheed Electra that left a smoldering 50-foot crater and scattered debris for five miles.
The anniversary weekend includes a Saturday memorial service and screenings of films about the crash at two local museums. Family members of a dozen victims are expected to attend a reception.
