Mole

I remember it well. I was living at Hazen and Hillcroft at the time and remember hearing an explosion but had no idea what it was and did not investigate further. I was about a mile away from the impact so the sound was noticeable but not particularly alarming. I was in a room facing the impact direction but I did not notice any flash. It wasn't until the following day that I learned the cause after listening to the local news. Perhaps a week later I did investigate the site. By that time, everything was cleaned up. The only indication was a memorial Cross with flowers as one today would see along the highway. The surrounding area was graded and there were no debris to be seen. I can't remember whether it wa on the north or south side of the bayou but whichever, it was whthin a few feet of the bank. I never knew about the plaque.

Does anyone remember this plane crash?

We were living in Marilyn Estates and I had just gone to bed when I heard the plane go over the house and then heard it crash. The explosion lit up my window. I actually thought the Russians had dropped the bomb - this was the time of the cold war.

My dad (who was a professional photographer at the time) grabbed his camera and ran out of the house. He was joined by our neighbor who was a mortician. They got wet running across Braes Bayou and were the first ones at the site.

My dad told me that he saw the helmet on the ground and then realized that it wasn't empty. That's all he would say and I never saw any of the pictures.

A short time later a tree was planted near Meyerland Plaza with a plaque dedicated to Captain Herod.
