Si commemorano oggi i 10 anni del terribile (uno dei peggiori) disastro aereo che ha portato inesorabilmente a fondo la linea aerea TWA (oltre a svariate centinaia di persone)
Ma tuttavia un dilemma mi perseguita...
Questo è l'aereo un mese prima del terribile disastro (N93119)
E l'altro lato un anno prima
E questo è il relitto dell'aereo ripescato pochi giorni dopo lo schianto

Ci sta qualcosa che non quadra...esattamente il numero di finestrini dell'upper deck...nelle foto sono i normali 3 della versione -100 (alcuni -100 xò montano più finestrini) mentre quelli del relitto sono tipici del -200 o di un -100 modificato...possibile che abbiamo modificato l'aereo meno di un mese prima dello schianto?
Aggiungo anche una triste storia che mi ha colpito particolarmente...quella di questo ragazzo...che stava per raggiungere la città dove vivo...senza mai arrivarci
"Yon was in his first year of college. He had always been very involved in his school, sports and community. In high school, in different grades, he held every political school office available and was voted King of the Senior Prom. He was also president of the Debate Team. To help his community Yon volunteered at 3 Jewish Old Age Homes and spent time just being with, and talking to, people. When he would come home after his visits he would say, "Eema, I love old people. They're so wise."
Yon had been involved in sports activities since the age of 6, but his true love and passion was basketball. On July 17, 1996 Yon was on his way to Rome, Italy to try out for the Italian Basketball League at the suggestion of Coach Larry Brown. He was scheduled to be on TWA Flight 841 to Rome. That flight was canceled and he was put on TWA 800 with the promise of a shuttle to Rome. Unfortunately he did not have the time to call and let me know of the change in schedule because he had to literally run to make the TWA 800 flight."
Un pensiero a lui e a tutte le altre innocenti vittime
