FLT 185 Plane Crash Near Pittsburgh in 1994
This plane crashed very near me as we were driving back from the world premier of Shawshank Redemption. I was in a group at EDS that ran MSA/M&D Payroll/HR systems and I was talking to some potential clients in PA and Ohio in 1994. We drove from Pittsburgh to Mansfield, Ohio and were there for the opening night of the Shawshank Redemption on Tuesday, September 13, 1994.
Then, we drove back to Pittsburgh and, on the way back, a commercial jet crashed very close to us, killing everyone on board. Flew straight into the ground with all of the engines running full throttle. This was US Air Flt 427.September 8, 1994. So, in my mind, the dates are off by about a week, because I thought the plane crashed after the Shawshank Redemption Premier, but both events happened within 5 days of each other and this was roughly 27 years 6 months 28 days ago.
