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.

N70775 reused
The N series registration of the 707 operating as Flight 11, N70775, was reused between 2005 and 2007 on a Bell 206B helicopter. The helicopter was subsequently cancelled from the register in 2007 when it was sold to Colombia.

Within days of publishing my book "The Missouri Crash" I have noticed a couple of errors despite exhaustive proof reading by different parties.
I have re-published the book with these errors corrected.

Russell Wolfe
The family of Flight 11 passenger Russell Wolfe visited Unionville recently and were shown around the town by Ronnie Cook. They visited the Putnam County museum . Prior to their 2018 visit they were unaware of the memorial or the services held in 2010 and 2012 . Many thanks to Maribeth deHaven for letting me know of their visit. Yet again another family has hopefully found a sense of closure all these years later.
