I was in the 9th grade at Montauk JHS in 1960. Rumors of a plane crash circulated around the school that Friday morning, and they announced on the PA system that we wouldn't be allowed out of the school at lunch time. My father drove us down to Park Slope on Sunday. We had to walk quite a few blocks to the crash site. I still remember the big United Airlines plane's tail sticking up on 7th Avenue. Thirty-five years later, I was doing OB/GYN training at Methodist Hospital and visited the chapel to see the Stephen Baltz Memorial. A very poignant reminder of the tragic event years ago.
