the number of people killed on the ground when AA 587 crashed into a
residential neighborhood in NY in November 2001.)


Seven people? Wow... that's impressive. I had been led to beleve that
an entire neighborhood was leveled.

Staying on the ground is safer than I thought.

There were 15 dead on the ground in the Cerritos DC9/PA28 crash in
'89. Maybe you were thinking of that.

Before anybody asks, there were 4 dead on the ground in the SST crash.
