God give ethernal peace to those lost lives
News said the number four engine is the one pictured in the wreckage of the building. Were the prop blades feathered. Seemed that they might not have been.
The single blade I can see looks feathered and since it seams undamaged it probably wasn't turning during the accident. Now wether that is the number 4 engine, I don't know.
Bonjour je souhaiterait que vous ajouter le traducteur en français je pense que sa va nous aider nous les francophone Mercie pour votre bonne compréhension
It is hard to believe that ANYONE survived that crash!!!
Flew on that plane morning 4 Nov 2005. Just brought up the pictures I took that morning. I knew it was old when I flew on it but it was a risk I was more than willing to take to, even extremely minimally, see what the WWII crews saw on takeoff and landing. God bless all those that were injured or perished in the crash.
A real tragedy, one more reminder of the greatest generation is gone. RIP
