Description:
November 30, 1947. Alaska Airlines Flight 009, a Douglas C-54A, land over 2,000 feet past the approach end of Runway 20 at Boeing Field in Seattle, and then crossed a road striking the automobile pictured here before landing in a ditch and exploding.

8 of the 28 aboard the airplane were killed, as was one passenger in the car (a blind woman, presumably not the driver).

Hmmm... now that I think about it, I'd like to see that National Geographic show Air-Crash Investigation (Air Emergency in America) tackle an older crash like this... I think the earliest I've seen them do was a crash in the mid-'70s.

#2, They did the BOAC Comet crashes in the 1950's the problem with older crashes is that the vast majority of them are unsolved and practicaly unsolvable due to the lack of any kind of basic information we take for granted nowadays, black boxes didn't come about until at least the early 60s'
