50 Years Ago Today

 50th Anniversary of WERC Chopper Crash

This accident indirectly led to me moving to Birmingham for a job that included flying in a similar chopper, doing traffic reports for a decade or two. I'm not sure if I knew much, if anything, about the accident when I took the job working with Bob Rowe and Steve Sanders on the air in the WERC Radio newsroom, including doing traffic reports! And, truthfully, I'm not sure, if I DID know, that it would have dissuaded me from taking the job!
