Death From Above

Allegheny Airlines flight 736 takes off from Erie, Pennsylvania at 7:45 PM on December 24, 1968. On approach into Bradford, light snow obscures the runway lights and the pilots make a critical error by descending too quickly. The Corvair CV-580 slams into a hillside and kills 20 passengers. Sweeping changes to navigation in poor weather follow the avoidable crash.
