The most tragic and fatal crash in the U.S. that year, and in fact one of the most deadly airplane crashes in U.S. history, the crash killed 146 people on board the plane, and eight people on the ground. It demolished or de-stroyed 15 homes in Kenner’s Morningside Park neighborhood.

The accident occurred when a Boeing 727, en route to Las Vegas, crashed shortly after takeoff. The plane had taken off from the then-New Orleans International Air-port and had ascended between 100 and 150 feet before wind shear forced the plane down just two minutes after takeoff. The plane crashed into a neighbor-hood 4,600 feet from the end of the runway.

A 16-month-old “miracle baby” who was in one of the houses was discovered alive amid the wreck-age, protected by debris that had fallen on her.

The crash led to the develop-ment of an onboard wind shear detection systems that were re-quired by the Federal Aviation Administration on planes begin-ning in 1993.

Newly sworn in Kenner Mayor Aaron Broussard directed the cleanup after the plane crash, which killed six small children on the ground.The cockpit transcript from the final moments of Flight 759.
