Safe Landing - a Family’s Journey Following the Crash of American Airlines Flight 191

Wednesday, September 25, 9:30am / Parlor

Presbyterian Women will sponsor a program with Kim Jockl and Melody Smith whose parents Bill and Corrine Borchers were killed when American Airlines flight 191 crashed into an open field just north of Touhy Avenue in Elk Grove Township on May 25, 1979.

After decades of grieving, soul searching, recollecting and connecting with the families of others who were killed in the crash, the siblings have put their personal story of survival and dealing with such a sudden loss into a book titled Safe Landing. It’s a combination of pictorial essay and a series of personal accounts of how the family has coped for the last 45 years with the sudden loss of their parents.

Books will be available for purchase at the program. For questions please contact JoAnn Thompson
