Description
TWA Flight 128 from Los Angeles was making a schedule stop in Cincinnati, and was supposed to proceed to Pittsburgh and then Boston. On approach the airplane struck trees on the Constance hillside and crashed 6,878 feet short of the runway, killing 70 and injuring 12. Of the 70 killed included Andrew Clark, who was the airport attorney, and his wife.
Deteriorating weather conditions and using a night time visual approach without proper cross reference caused the pilots to misjudge and miss the runway.
To date this is the deadliest crash in Boone County history.

Clark, Andrew
