inspired by PSA Flight 1771 The aircraft had departed from Chicago Midway International Airport at 5:42 a.m., bound for Los Angeles. Roughly 45 minutes into the flight, air traffic control lost contact with the plane. Moments later, NORAD radar detected the aircraft's rapid descent over rural Macoupin County. The jumbo jet exploded on impact, leaving no survivors.
