| 説明 | Making a rubbing from the TWA Memorial of a relative lost in the 1956 midair collision over Grand Canyon during the memorial wreath laying ceremony at Citizens Cemetery, Flagstaff, AZ. NPS photo by Michael Quinn.On June 30, 1956, a Trans World Airlines (TWA) Super Constellation L-1049 and a United Airlines DC-7 collided in uncongested airspace 21,000 feet over the Grand Canyon in Arizona, killing all 128 people onboard the two flights. The tragedy spurred an unprecedented effort to modernize and increase safety in America’s postwar airways, culminating in the establishment of the modern Federal Aviation Administration.Grand Canyon National Park commemorated the 58th anniversary of the midair collision at 10 a.m. on June 30th by holding simultaneous wreath laying ceremonies at the United Airlines Memorial in Grand Canyon Pioneer Cemetery, and at the TWA Memorial in the Flagstaff Citizens Cemetery. Visitors to the park were able to participate in a series of interpretive programs about the collision at Desert View throughout the day on the 30th and were invited to attend a special evening program by archaeologist Ian Hough at McKee Amphitheater at 8:30 p.m.On Tuesday, July 8, 2014, the National Park Service (NPS) dedicated one of the nation’s newest National Historic Landmarks, the 1956 Grand Canyon TWA-United Airlines Aviation Accident Site in Grand Canyon National Park. This site commemorates a horrific airline collision over the Grand Canyon in 1956.The public dedication ceremony of the National Historic Landmark designation took place at the Desert View Amphitheater looking out toward the crash site.
