On December 16, 1960, a midair collision occurred with a United Air Lines jet and a TWA propeller plane a mile above New York. It was the deadliest air disaster up to that time, killing all 84 people on board the United airliner, the 44 people on board the TWA plane, and six people on the ground.
In this Dec. 17, 1960 file photo, the wreckage of a United airliner sits in the middle of 7th Avenue and Sterling place, the day after it crashed into the Park Slope section of Brooklyn following a midair collision with a TWA propeller plane one mile above New York City. It was the deadliest air disaster up to that time, killing all 128 people on both aircraft and six on the ground. (File/Associated Press)
