(Burlington, KY) -- Today marks the 50th anniversary of the deadliest plane crash in Kentucky's history.
A memorial service in Burlington yesterday honored the 70 people killed onboard TWA Flight 128.
The regularly scheduled flight was carrying 82 passengers from Los Angeles to Boston with intermediate stops in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
The jet crashed when its pilots misjudged their approach to Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport In 1967. A dozen people survived, including an infant who was found in a tree.
The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of the accident to be crew error, in attempting a visual no-glide-slope approach at night during deteriorating weather conditions without adequate altimeter cross-reference.
