That's right, folks. 1978 was the year this aviation bummer went down. Far out, man, far out. Imagine a world without disco balls or leisure suits...oh wait, that part wasn't so bad. Anyway, the crash remains the deadliest air disaster in California history (yikes!), and for a while, held the unfortunate title of most deadly plane crash in the US (until American Airlines Flight 191 crashed in 1979...talk about a rough year for airplanes!).
So, What Happened? (The Cliff Notes Version)
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
Okay, so here's the short and sweet of it: PSA Flight 182, a Boeing 727, was coming in for a landing at what was then Lindbergh Field (now San Diego International Airport) when it blammo! collided with a private Cessna 172. Double bummer! Both planes went down in North Park, San Diego, taking everyone on board (and a few folks on the ground) with them. A real downer of a Tuesday, that's for sure.
