Flight 587 memorial

September 24th, 2013



On November 12, 2001, two months and one day after 9/11, American Airlines Flight 587 to the Dominican Republic crashed into the neighborhood of Belle Harbor on the Rockaway Peninsula shortly after takeoff from JFK. This monument commemorates the 265 lives lost in that disaster, the second-deadliest aviation accident in US history.
