We were so surprised that only 10 people were killed, as sad as it was anyone was killed. This goes for anyone else who would like to share their experiences. These special representatives are trained to help both survivors and family of those lost with all of the basics that people take for granted. The house that the plane landed in was a co-workers parents house. I remember seeing a news flash on tv where we were and immediatly headed home. BAR HARBOR (WGME) -- A plane crash near Mount Desert Island High School injured one person Saturday.

seadoo@yahoo.com There were so many that came to help. It's been 34 years since the Portland plane crash. On the crash site I mean. I have described this incident. I remember this very well. It will always be some thing that I remember. The front page of the Oregonian on the morning after the plane crash was entirely devoted to coverage of the event. He thought it was snowing but it was the insulation from that house and another that exploded on impact. It was interesting to see your pictures. Thank you!

Heartfelt wishes for peace and remembrance on this rainy 39th anniversary.

I've been looking for pictures and a story behind the 1978 plane crash and this is by far the best I've come across.

That night changed my life.

Shortly after six p.m., Mcbroom declared he would bring the plane in for a landing at the airport, but it was too late. I was 3.

I remember seeing Firemen sifting around looking for people. Such a scary event! I had just turned 7 and was in 1st grade at Cathedral School in Portland. I never went back to look (my wife and I were on it and that seems enough). And, we’re meant to read books by great historical scholars and then talk about them…”Enter your email address to follow this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.On December 27, 1978 United Airlines pilot Malburn, “Buddy” Mcbroom was making his thirteenth flight to Portland, Oregon. A friend of mine was to be on that flight, but decided to climb Pike's Peak instead. Missing luggage, helping people contact family, money for temporary needs, hotels, what ever is needed when a crash occurs to help the people. We had heard what sounded like a plane way closer that it should have been. I was living in Portland then and out of town on business.

Thanks. It's been 34 years since the Portland plane crash.

I have completed the book I was working on about it, but would like very much to hear from people who were on the flight to see how they are doing today. Thanks for posting!

He was asked to trade spots with someone in the middle of the plane due to knowing first aid. Everything seemed to be going routine, as a little after 5:00 P.M., Mcbroom told the passengers to look out the right side of the plane for a view of beautiful Mount Hood and the nighttime skiers.

We drove over and visited the crash site the next morning. I remember all of it as if it happened yesterday.

I'm interested to read others memories of the crash. Thankfully, the houses were both for sale and empty at the time.Of the 189 people  on board, ten were killed and two dozen seriously injured. Hi JJ, my wife and I were on the plane, toward the back, the first row of the smoking section since non-smoking was filled. The night of the crash, I remember standing right about where the "keep out" sign is in the picture.

I was 15 years old when that happened. South Portland, Me., July 11 -- (AP) -- A medium Army bomber crashed and exploded in a 100-unit government trailer colony late today, spewing flaming oil and gasoline over the hoes of war workers, killing 12 and injuring scores. I was stationed at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota, at the time of the crash. His inattention resulted from preoccupation with a landing gear malfunction and preparations for a possible landing emergency.”  Essentially, Mcbroom became so focused on the landing gear, which had actually dropped into the correct place, that he forgot about monitoring the fuel levels.At the time, the pilot of the flight was sort of a king, not to be questioned or second guessed. Even at six years old I remember it so clearly. I was 36 at the time. She lived. Don't want to get any closer than that! It was a terrible feeling not knowing what I was going see when when we got there. I can be reached at jdwscript@gmail.com They circled for over an hour, worrying about the landing gear problem but not paying attention to the fuel level.

I'd still like a little brass plaque there for us. December 28th, 1978 is a date forever etched into my soul. Cancelled the one-way ticket on that United flight, and, booked one on Continental, same day, real close to the same time. RIP Gwen. Two flight attendants found her buried in the wreckage of the first class cabin where her family had been seated. I was returning home for my sisters wedding, and had my tickets from Rapid City, SD, transferring in Denver, to this plane. I don't know how I didn't find this site until tonight, or why it would happen on the anniversary of the crash. We live under the flight path on 201st off of Glisan and still do. I drove by a while later just not able to believe what the TV showed.

The interesting part is That we had flown in on that same United flight on Christmas Eve. “The seal, the pyramid, it’s unfinished, with the eye of God looking over it, and the words annuit coeptis — he, God, favors our undertaking. I too road United Flight 173 that very cold December evening, with my two young sons ages 7 and 8 years at the time.

We were driving down Burnside and could see the aid cars several blocks down the street when we came upon the scene. Passengers were wandering around like ghosts, really.
