Travel | True Crime | History Hi! I'm Marilyn. After traveling with my family to all 50 states, I am fascinated by the stories this country has to tell. The good ones and the bad ones. The Viva America podcast won’t just share the morbid, terrifying and haunting stories of this nation, but the inspirational, wholesome and inspiring stories as well. Balance is good. Join my son, Cameron, and I as we reflect on the places that we have visited and share stories that fascinate us. Or horrify us. Or inspire us. Or fill us with despair. Or make us want to head out on another adventure.

E11: When tragedy and beauty intersect | The Grand Canyon mid-air collision that you’ve never heard of.

The Grand Canyon is one of our country’s most popular National Parks and even one of the 7 natural wonders of the WORLD.  When I heard about the mid-air collision of 2 passenger planes in 1956 I was shocked that I had never heard of it.  This episode dives in to the tragedy thanks to Mike Nelson, one of the family members of an unfortunate soul aboard one of the planes that day.

The organization we are highlighting this episode is:

Organization description:  Grand Canyon Conservancy is the official nonprofit partner of Grand Canyon National Park and has been supporting the Grand Canyon for over 90 years. Their vision consists of 3 main points. They want to see:

  • A precious natural and cultural resource that is forever safeguarded.
  • Indigenous people and connected communities who are thriving.
  • Memorable experiences that welcome, ground, invigorate, and inspire.
