Landing
A plane crashed on
Sterling Place
Brooklyn. 1960
128 passengers
& six on the
ground. Dead
Couldn’t believe it.
My friend, Arlene
lived nearby. Worried
Got off the bus
walked over & saw
a plane. Overwhelmed
Smell of burning
aircraft as black
soot hung in the air. Unreal
Part of a big gray
plane taking over an
entire crosswalk. Gloom
December 16th
how could any joy be
found in these hard...streets?
We were both15 years old
and Arlene was okay.
We shook our heads. Confused
Looking over our
shoulders to figure out
what comes next. Scared
