On December 19, 1976, a Piper Cherokee airplane crashed into Baltimore Memorial Stadium's upper Deck injuring the pilot and three others about 10 minutes after a Colts/Steelers AFC Divisional playoff game had ended.

The pilot of the Piper Cherokee was Donald Kroner who was 33 at the time and he had buzzed over the stadium several times before the crash.

Kroner was quite the character -- in addition to receiving a two-year sentence for this incident for malicious destruction of property and violation of aviation laws, Kroner had been arrested before for making threats against former Colts LB Bill Pellington. Pellington had owned a restaurant in Timonium, Maryland and Kroner had been kicked out of the restaurant for obnoxious behavior. Later, in 1980, Kroner was charged with stealing a Greyhound bus from Dulles International Airport. He died in 2013.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in The X Files (1993) Tempus Fugit

S4E17

Mulder and Scully get involved in the investigation of a commercial airliner crash that had among its passengers a well-known alien abductee, Max Fenig. One survivor is found at the crash site and Scully is quick to notice that he is suffering from radiation burns. Mulder also notices there is a nine minute gap between the time the authorities say the plane crashed and the time found on the watches of several of the dead passengers. The government official in charge of the crash investigation, Mike Millar, scoffs at Mulder's other-worldly explanation of the crash and that it involved an encounter with a UFO. He begins to change his view when he can't explain some of the physical evidence.

*"Tempus fugit" is Latin for "Time flies."

Vintage Military Aircraft Collide at Dallas air show

A Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and a Bell P-63 Kingcobra collided and crashed at the Wings Over Dallas airshow around 1:20 p.m. on Saturday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Six people have died in the crash.

The B-17 was part of the collection of the Commemorative Air Force, nicknamed “Texas Raiders,” and had been hangered in Conroe, Texas near Houston. It was one of about 45 complete surviving examples of the model, only nine of which were airworthy.

The P-63 was even rarer. Some 14 examples are known to survive, four of which in the United States were airworthy, including one owned by the Commemorative Air Force.

More than 12,000 B-17s were produced by Boeing, Douglas Aircraft and Lockheed between 1936 and 1945, with nearly 5,000 lost during the war, and most of the rest scrapped by the early 1960s. About 3,300 P-63’s were produced by Bell Aircraft between 1943 and 1945, and were principally used by the Soviet Air Force in World War II.

Wilbur Wright pushed a lever the wrong way and crashed the Flyer III during test flights on May 14, 1908.

Series: Records Relating to Aviation Experiments Conducted by Orville and Wilbur Wright at Kitty Hawk, N.C.

After the greatest of [corrected from “od”] all air ship flights this afternoon the machine of [“Wr” crossed out] Wilbur and Orville Wright was smashed into an unrecognizable [“heap” crossed out] mass. The navigator of the machine, Wilbur Wright, escaped from the accident practically unhurt, [“xThax” crossed out] having received nothing more than a mere scratch on his face [“as a result of the accident” crossed out]. The [“mexbyne” crossed out] machine had already flown eight miles in seven [“second” crossed out] s minutes and [“seven” crossed out] forty seconds under beautiful control. The wrecking of [“the machine” crossed out] it was due to an error on the part of the navigator. Proceeding [“slights” crossed out] slightly in a downward course, it was the [“Wilbur” crossed out] designed by the navigator to elevate its course, but instead of working the lever to accomplish that result, he worked it as to direct the course of the machine still further downward. Responding instantly to the influence of the lever the machine shot downward and to [“th” crossed out] the ground with great rapidity. As strongly as it was put together it [“could not” crossed out] was crushed like an egg shell. Wilbur Wright’s luck which has [“stt” crossed out] stood by him ever since he has commenced his ascents in the air [“stood by him” crossed out] was still with. 

The machine was wrecked behind a sand hill two miles from the point [“at which” crossed out] from which it was started. [“Leaving” crossed out] Rising from [“the hous” crossed out] a point near the house in which it is stored, the machine flew away with twice the speed of a bird. Its course was directed north along [“th” crossed out] the beach for a mile and a half when it was [“then” crossed out] turned to the [page torn]

[page 2]

and which was working to their satisfaction, was hard to manipulate instantaneously, without considerable practice . The Wrights had not had time to practice its manipulation to perfection.

The flight of the machine was [word truly is inked out] a  marvelous one, [breaking all is inked out] far out distancing other successful ones that have been recently made at Kill Devil Hill. The machine [inked out had] flew upward of eight miles in seven minutes and forty seconds. Making the ascent from a point near the house in which it is sheltered, one mile from the Kill Devil Hill Life Saving Station, it was steered in a northerly direction, parallel with the coast for a mile and a half. It was then directed westward, over a [inked out "sand hill fifty feet"] small sand hill and between two larger. Then completely circling another sand hill, the course of the machine was turned towards the starting point. Arriving there like a giant bird on a mission requiring great haste, and under the perfect control of the navigator, the machine sped on, the navigator having determined to again fly over the four mile course which had been just completed. The course was pursued with the same great speed until exactly half of it had been flown. Then the fatal mistake was made. Barring the accident, the flight was [words truly a are marked out] magnificent [the word one is inked out] .

Previous to this flight an other of perhaps equal importance though shorter was flown. This consisted in the complete circling a big sand hill 150 feet tall for a distance of two miles, both Orville Wright and a mechanic assistant, being seated in the machine. The machine on this circuit came back to its starting point and beyond it for a quarter of a mile.

[penciled and underlined the number "3"]

The Wrights state that they will immediately pack up the wreckage of their machine and ship it back to their home in Dayton, Ohio "[several sentences are inked out and illegible]"

Orville Wright had intended leaving here Monday to prepare for a trip to Europe, having engagements there with representatives of foreign Governments who have [2 words inked out] been attracted by the possibilities of their machine.

Not since the Wrights have been here did their machine appear so complete an instrument as it did today, due no doubt to its wonderful performance in the hands of its makers who were daily displaying more skill in [inked in "operating  it] The fatal mistake was the result of [inked in importance [?]] with the operation of the new steering gear which the brothers had perfected and installed on the machine. Its working was very satisfactory, but required practice [inked in "for instantaneous manipulation[?]]

Another extraordinary flight [comparatively a short one is inked in] was made by the machine today [although is inked out] "[the words "although a comparatively a short one are inked out]" It was the complete circling of a sand mountain for a distance of two miles, '[inked out "Orville Wri"]"both Orville Wright and Furnass a mechanic occupying seats in the machine. The remarkable part about this flight was the fact that the machine was on a constant curve. It sailed the distance in two minutes and a half. It returned to its starting point and continued its flight for a quarter of

a mile beyond. "[two inked out illegible words]" Owing to the refusal of the Wrights to [2 illegible words are inked out] operate their machine when [3 words inked out "witnessed by strangers"] they were possessed of the knowledge that others besides themselves and the life-savers at the Kill Devil Hill Station [3 illegible penciled in words] and the isolation of their location, but few have seen the machine fly. Those who witnessed the flights today and many of the previous, besides [penciled in words "[The Wrights and Life-saving?]"the following newspaper Correspondents: Newton, of the New York Herald; Hoster, of the New York American Macgowan, of the [inked out 2 words] London Daily Mail and Salley.

♫ Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)♫

Having just finished writing my post about Alexei Navalny’s assassination, I find I’m feeling a bit melancholy tonight.  I thought I’d go for something cheery and upbeat for my music post, but somehow Petula Clark’s “Downtown” just felt … wrong.  So, how about some Jim Croce instead … The story behind the song was inspired during Jim Croce’s military service, during which time he saw lines of…

We need more variety of the themes of movies, nobody needs more superhero films.

For example, I want more disaster movies, such as sinking ship movies, runaway train movies, airplane accidents and incidents, and pretty much every single theme and genre than superhero ones.
