Boston, Massachusetts – October 24, 1924
On October 24, 1924, two men took off from East Boston Airport in a small plane. Just after becoming airborne and reaching an altitude of 300 feet, the plane suddenly lost power and nose-dived into the mud flats off World Memorial Park. The flats were covered by a foot of water at the time. The plane was wrecked and the occupants were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
