I remember the day well. Was 12 years old. I lived in West Metairie maybe a mile from the site. My uncle owned a house on Hudson. His slab cracked from the impact and he was in litigation with Pan Am for years. My Dad was a fire fighter. With Third District Fire Dept.
I was outside with my friends when it happened. We heard the impact. I went home shortly after because of rain when my friend called and said that the Boom that we heard was a plane crash.

Your dad's slab cracked because of ground subsidence, just like everyone else who lives in that filled in swamp. He was just trying to stick Pan Am with the bill.
