Sabotage in the Sky: Continental Airlines Flight 11 (1962)
Welcome to Catastrophe Chronicles, where hosts Katie and Arin Babbick delve into stories within disaster history. In this episode, they uncover the largely forgotten tragedy of Continental Airlines Flight 11, which occurred in 1962, years before the more infamous Flight 11 of 2001.
Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement, and the burgeoning jet age, the episode discusses the intricate and tragic details surrounding the sabotage that doomed Flight 11. With first-hand accounts and meticulous research from various authors, Katie and Arin explore the flight's ill-fated journey from Chicago to Kansas City, the subsequent crash, and the heartbreaking aftermath.
This compelling episode reveals the chaotic search and rescue efforts, the emergence of a mysterious dog as the lone survivor, and the subsequent investigation that pointed towards an alleged suicide-bombing for life insurance. Tune in for an engaging historical exploration of a disaster that reshaped aviation insurance and safety protocols, despite being largely forgotten today.
NOTE: Early on in the episode Katie said flight 11 on 9/11 crashed into the pentagon. Dunno how I messed that up, but I did - twice! It crashed into the World Trade Center NOT the pentagon. My apologies!
