June 30th 1956.
Two Airliners (TWA Flight 2[A Connie]) and United Airlines Flight 718 [A DC-7]) collided over the Grand Canyon. This was back in the "See and avoid" days. My G'mom lost her best friend in that collision and saved the newspapers about the crash in her garage (Where I found them in the early 1970's). Anyway, here's what happened. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Grand_Canyon_mid-air_collision   |

Thanks for that OP, never heard of that crash before.
At least your G-mom's friend and the rest didn't die in vain a lot of good came from a very tragic event. |

Is this the crash that caused CAA/ FAA to require N-S flights to fly on even (or odd) thousands feet high while E-W flights fly at odd (or even) thousands of feet high?
Thanks, |

When I was in the 6th grade there was a mid-air collision right over my school. I wasn't at recess at the time, but the first graders were. It was very foggy/snowy and they heard a boom and started bringing parts of the planes and luggage into the school office. Everyone on both planes died and there was wreckage spread all over the neighborhood.
Terrible deal |
