I had forgotten that happened on Halloween. Still remember seeing the initial news reports of it.

sorry for not knowing but which airline?

It started of the ATR/ice study. ORD-bound American Eagle ATR-72.

Here is the NTSB report.

My uncle was a new 737 captain for UAL, scheduled to go IND-ORD that same day. He cancelled for weather, and is pretty sure that some of his passengers ended up on 4184.

You boys want to know why you pay ALPA dues? Get the full scoop on the 4184 accident investigation.

Excellent point Sir.

People getting on a turboprop in bumpy weather with lots of snow and a frontal passage and it's halloween night . . . .

. . . crashing was probably what some of those poor passengers were expecting. I made sure I was extra careful tonight thinking of them . . .

The fellow that got me into aviation was American Airlines. He told the story when I was in flight school. Very sad. It's an unforgiving profession in more ways than one.
