65 years ago today, my parents were in Vegas on their honeymoon. They had married the day before. We took them there again on their 50th anniv. Hi Mom and Dad!
How terrifying the interior shots are. The flames inside the cabin and the crash dummies strapped into their seats. I think I could have lived the rest of my life not seeing that. I'm sure the family and friends of people who actually died in similar crashes would be haunted by what their loved ones saw and went through in their last minutes.
For a romanticized version see the movie Island of the Blue Dolphins, 1964.
