A USA stopover en route to war against innocents

Sound is terrible ,no excuse for it

My mother was a young nurse in Galway in 1958. She was at the docks attending to the bodys of the KLM Hugo De Groote plane crash. She especially recalled her special job which was an air hostess. My mother said she was a beautyful young woman. She found it the saddest job of her career. RIP Nurse Cathy Dempsey Nee Keane. RIP the passengers and crew.

Good job. Important to remember 🙏. But sad and a bit depressing.

December 28,1946 my mother ,a war bride from Scotland was waiting with a set of 6 mo old twins ,myself and my brother for the arrival of the Star of Cairo from Paris . We were to board that plane on the way to New York City . However the plane crashed on landing . This is information I learned from my mother at a later date She is now 97 yo and still remembers the event . We were put up in Limerice until another plane became available .TWA grounded all planes during the investigation .Finally Pan Am sent a plane to take us to NYC arriving Jan 31,1946 . My Father now working for TWA was able to meet us .

Very cool, but the Sun is very hot. Title 🤔 otherwise 👍

Are these tunes you play your own creations ?

So Peter, what's with all these copies of the same videos on KZbin ?

That was very interesting and obviously very sad. My ex-wife and I on our Honeymoon in Ireland touring on our Harleys, visited the old Shannon flying boat station. Apparently the old terminal café there was where the Irish Coffee was invented, so we couldn't say no to one 😊 My circa 1970 Airfix kit of a Boeing 707 was in Aer Lingus livery and I made a flying model of a V-tail Beech Bonanza. Was that the actual aircraft the ex Constellation pilot was killed ?

Video too short, keep on playing. That would make good background music for our KZbin videos 👍

I'd love to listen to your documentary. Unfortunately you need to invest in a much better microphone. The low quality of the microphone coupled with over driving it made for a sound recording that is virtually unintelligible.

Extremely interesting and informative Well done look forward to future documentaries !!

Not a crash but in 1960 we were flying on TWA from Paris to Los Angeles I remember seeing a engine on fire I would open the window shade and mom closed it We dumped our fuel and made an emergency landing at Shannon We were greater with fire trucks and ambulances Once off the plane we spent the night in a rather small building and were treated very well TWA sent over another and we flew home to L A. Some day I hope to revisit Shannon again Sincerely S.O'Neil

Peter, a wonderful historical account in memory of all who sadly lost their lives in the early days and beginnings of commercial aviation in Ireland of which I had not fully known until now. Thank you.

About 5 or 6 years ago my dad and I went to a lecture in the Shannon oakwood hotel about air disasters in Shannon airport, we were both shocked at how many there had been and how deadly they were too.
