How Come No One Knows About This?

Pan Am Flight 759 is another disaster that few remember. It crashed in Kenner


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Am_Flight_759


153 died when the plane crashed on take off from the NOLA airport in 1982.

That wiki page says 5 houses were destroyed and 6 more were damaged. That can't be right.

My mother and I were driving near there at the time, arriving at the scene before the fire trucks. There were entire city blocks on fire. How can a 727 plane crash into a residential neighborhood and only damage 11 houses?

I googled it and found a video from channel 8's newscast. They were saying that 4 entire blocks were destroyed. That jibes more with my memory.

Also, I would have thought that more than 8 people on the ground died, but I guess that info was easily identified from crash records; can't see the wikipedia page being that off.
