I was a nurse working in Cincinnati and was off that evening. I had the radio on and there was a call for all available medical personnel to report to St. Elizabeth's. I went to the hospital and, because of my surgical background, assisted in one of the operating rooms. The hospital was very chaotic, but everyone pitched in. Two years earlier as a nursing student in Cincinnati, we had a disaster call for the crash of Flight 383 and gathered in one location. However were sent back and told that all aboard had died. I have now learned that this was not so. Thirty years ago I became friends with a woman from Cincinnati here in Pennsylvania whose father had died on flight 128 that night in Kentucky. Thanks for your site. Mary.....


"I was 8 yrs old when this happened and was trying to tell my husband about it. Untill now, I didn't know when it happened, how many were on the flight, the size of the plane or if there were any survivors. We lived on Delta Road and my dad was a volunteer at the Point Pleasant Fire Department. My dad never talked about the crash site. I'm sure it was difficult for all of the people who went there to help. God bless them all. Thank you for sharing this." Melanie


The Clark's feel that they have very important info. concerning the disaster since one of the relatives was at the airport at the time of the crash. We have offered our services and information only to be ignored....very disappointed in the lack of communication and respect for the survivors. Barbara Clark

RESPONSE to Mrs. Clark: All family members are welcome to submit their stories by email. Additionally, Andrew and Clementine Clark's pictures have been embedded in a video that is currently in production and should be on line by February 1, 2011.


I was a Kenton County Police Officer and responded to both crashes. helped to expedite the movement of ambulances up a lane to the crash scene. Have many memories of those nights. I have a piece of the aircraft from flight 383, if your interested in incorporating it in the memorial.


My grandfather was Charles Cochran. The pilot of 128. My dad was 17 when this accident occured and for years his death was something that we haven't talked about and brought my dad pain. For years I have searched on my own for information about my grandfather that I never knew, his life and his death. My grandma Mary, Charles wife, had her funeral today and I decide to search once again online for information about my grandfather. For treats I have looked online and found nothing, until today. I read your chapters about flight 128 and cried for someone I never knew....but also because of the memorial sign saying "pilot error". Was it my grandfathers fault? I thought from what I read that weather, faulty equipment, poor communication and visibility were the cause. I am struggling with this. I see in your member list that one of the flight attendants is about of your group. Could you pass my information to her? I would like to know anything about my grandfather, how he was to work with and if he did all he could that tragic day. Also, was the Cochran family left out of the memorial? Tricia Sexauer


Response to Tricia: Our group did no investigative work as to the cause of the loss of TWA Flight 128 . Your grandfather,s name appears on the memorial in Burlington, Kentucky and is listed in the book "Air Disasters Near the Greater Cincinnati Airport 1948 to 1868'
