Pan Am was also lost in December of 1991. The only airline the world has ever known to be described as an institution.

Trans World Airlines


Got hosed by Icahn and i believe Kerkorian also. Those assholes made 100's of millions while saddling TWA with debt it could never recover from/

Those were days, where you could be major share holder, borrow 2x what company was worth, and leave the company on the hook for that loan. So fricking scummy.
