Along the same lines, but a little more upclose and personal.
There was a DC-9 (Continental 1714) crash at the old Denver Airport (Stapleton) a few years ago, which I helped cover for the TV stations I worked for at the time, and also for NBC. It was a different kind of crash, in that there were still large parts of the plane in tact and had been little fire. In fact, there were actually a few survivors. Also, strangely, we were allowed within about 100 feet of the crash site.
Two days later my whole family and I took off on a parallel runway for a Disney World vacation. The wreckage was still there. I didn't point that out to the family.
