(Sioux City, IA) — Thirty-two years ago, July 19th, 1989, United Flight 232 crashed at the Sioux City airport. The plane took off from Denver and was bound for Chicago with nearly three-hundred passengers when it suffered hydraulic failure. The pilot could only make right turns and was flying the plane manually. As the plane landed it tipped just above the ground and a wing hit the runway first. The airliner cartwheeled down the runway, broke into pieces, burst into flames and skidded to a stop in a cornfield at the edge of the airport, killing 112 people, another 184 people on board survived.
