Reaganesque memorial for 248 crash victims at Fort Campbell

President Reagan and Nancy Reagan comfort families at a memorial service for 248 soldiers killed when a chartered Arrow Air DC-8 crashed after leaving Gander. Tracey Walker, fiancée of one dead sergeant, clung to the president as he spoke. Elvis tunes played and children were comforted. The service honored the 101st Airborne Division as the nation grieved the loss.

District of a Death Jet Crash Investigated

Investigator in charge Peter Boag of the Canadian Aviation Safety Board outlined initial findings from a damaged flight recorder on the DC-8 carrying 248 soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division home from the Middle East. The data shows a last minute descent and a 190 mph peak before off course drift and hillside impact. Boag cautioned the black box data does not determine the cause and refused to speculate on engine failure ice or pilot error.
