hockey363957: In chat this morning was talking to someome who lives in my state. As we where talking about things i broght up the fact that i lived near the airport . You know noise fumes issues. Well 47 years come July 1st 1973 marks a sad day in my life seeing a plane crash into the airport runway killing all but one who later died in December of that year. I was fishing off castle island in south Boston at the time, when the plane was coming in for a landing in some low lying fog. I was 16 yrs old at the time.we didnt think much of it at the time as building on the island obscured our view, then we saw smoke rising and sirens erc all over the place coast guard ships helicopters the works. Still not knowing what happened till we got to the subway station to go home.we thought the boom was a sonic boom which we where used to. Was a sad day. 1981 another plane skidded off the runway nose first killing 2 passengers whos bodies where never found that was in January 1981a month after my oldest daughter was born. Sad day.
