Description
-
The first commercial crash in the region occurred when a TWA aircraft departed from the Greater Cincinnati Airport in Hebron and struck the wing of a privately-operated Douglas DC-3. The right propeller of the TWA cut across the top of the DC-3 and caused both planes to crash killing all on board both planes. 15 people died total.
-
Later investigations blamed the DC-3 for not following a proper flight pattern.
