I remember that day well, I was in Kearns Junior High at the time, they held us at the school until around 6 pm when our parents were finally allowed to come pick us up. I remember seeing parts of the wreckage on the way home and sheets covering other areas. My friends had some pretty bad stories about what landed in some of the yards the next day. Very tragic!

Research shows that it was only 20 years ago:
"On Jan. 15, 1987, > aircraft collided over Kearns, Utah, raining aircraft parts on the residential neighborhood and killing the 10 people aboard the two aircraft but somehow avoiding any loss of life or injury to people on the ground." (Aviation Week)

Many years ago, there was a mid-air over Kearns
between either a 2-or-4
seater (for some reason I'm remembering that it was a Mooney) and a commuter turbo-prop.

As I pilot who knows of a number close calls that have happened in the mostly wide open skies over SLC, anytime I think of the traffic on the I-15 corridor each evening raised high into the sky (and most "pilots" yacking on their cell phones), well I just can't see it happening with current technology.
