This Day In Wrecks
1909: The Sibyl Marston is caught in a storm off Lompoc, CA and runs aground on Surf Beach after striking rocks. Her cargo of lumber is salvaged and used locally; the wreck is still visible as of 2010. (pictured)
1937: Western Air Express Flight 7 crashes into a hill in low visibility conditions on approach to the Union Air Terminal in Burbank, CA. 8 of the 13 people on the Boeing 247 survive.
1955: In the clouds above the Boone County Airport in Kentucky, a Douglas DC-3 collides with a TWA Martin 2-0-2, sending both planes crashing to the ground with no survivors.
