park slope crashDecember 16, 1960, two passenger planes collide over New York City.  One crashes on Staten Island.  The other rips open the heart of Brooklyn’s Park Slope, destroying homes, lives and a neighborhood’s sense of peace.  Owen and Dean speak with two witnesses to the horror: Owen’s dad, Tom, and his best friend, Bruce.  Carnage, disbelief and the crushing sadness for the little boy who brought out the best in one of America’s great neighborhoods.
