The "official" blog-site regarding the tragic dynamiting and destruction of a Boeing 707 jetliner operating as Continental Airlines Flight 11 in 1962. The destruction of the aeroplane, en route from Chicago to Los Angeles via Kansas City, resulted in the death of all 45 passengers and crew. Finally, after 48 years a memorial was established thanks to the help of this blog, a local historian in Unionville and the assistance of many individuals.

Updated official passenger list
Due to a gross oversight on my part the passenger list found in one of my earlier posts was missing some names. It has now been updated.

Another Flight 11 family - Miller
Mr Duane Crawford received some very welcome visitors on Monday morning with the arrival of the Brueseke family who have come to Unionville. Barry and Bonnie Brueseke are from San Diego, CA. Bonnie Brueseke (Miller) was only four years old when her Uncle PFC Robert L. Miller was killed in the Flight 11 tragedy.
Robert L. Miller was assigned a seat at the rear of the Boeing 707 as he had injured his leg.
Robert's mother, Ada Miller, had heard about the crash on the 10:30pm news that evening and it was his father that had the grim task of travelling to Unionville to identify Robert's body.
The Brueseke's make yet another addition to the growing list of families coming forward who remember the life-long impact Flight 11 has had on them since May 22, 1962.
