I am old enough to remember the horrific crash of Flight 401, but recently, a young friend, who was not born until years after the crash, was telling me of her grandmother experiencing a plane crash in a "swamp" and after some discussions we realized it must have been this flight. I checked the survivor listing and sure enough, the grandmother's name, Jessie LaRusso, was there. My friend recalls her grandmother speaking of two children that she pulled from the water who stayed with her until they were rescued. Does anyone have any more details? Mrs. LaRusso passed away several years ago, but her granddaughter is curious.
To all the passengers and crew of flight 401, may God bless you.
