On December 16, 1960, 134 people tragically lost their lives when United Airlines flight 826 and TWA flight 266 collided over the skies of Staten Island.  The United aircraft crashed in Park Slope, at the intersection of Sterling Place and Seventh Avenue.

On December 16, 2010, Green-Wood Cemetery will honor these individuals who perished, both in the sky and on the ground in Park Slope, by unveiling a new eight-foot memorial on December 16, 2010, fifty years to the day of the tragic crash.  The granite monument will stand sentinel near the gravesite where the unidentified remains of victims have rested for half a century.

This special unveiling ceremony and memorial service is sponsored by  Green-wood Cemetery and are free to the public.  Please R.S.V.P. with Isabella Vlacci at 718-210-3024.
