Delta Air Lines Flight 191 - August 2, 1985
My wife, my mother-in-law and I were going to Ft. Worth to the museums on that day. We were in my 69 Chrysler 300 convertible (a land barge). We crossed north of DFW Airport and the weather was incredibly bad - windy with very heavy rain. Later, we heard about the crash on the radio. Based on timing, 191 was about one minute behind our crossing the north end of the airport.

Very good timing, 191 hit the ground north of 114, skipped over it and clipped a car on the way to the second impact, decapitating the driver. A no shite “that could have been me”
ETA: "Plus they were full tanks, so maximum fuel to spread a huge fire."
common misconception, they had plenty of fuel for a nice fire but weren't "full tanks," airliners are rarely fueled to capacity
