About 100 people assembled this morning to
dedicate a memorial to the victims of American Airlines Flight
1420, which crashed five years ago today at Little Rock National
Airport.
Eleven people were killed when the jetliner landed in a
thunderstorm and slid off the runway. Scores of people were
injured.
The monument is at the Aerospace Education Center across from
the airport.
People who gathered for today`s ceremony wore name tags denoting
whether they were crash survivors or family members. The tags bore
different seat numbers.
