Trivia Tuesday: The Deadliest Accident

     Okay folks, we're back for more trivia.  But first, here's the answer to last week's question. The Chicago Sports Museum has any number of items on display, and I asked you to name 3 of them.  You could have said any of the following:


  • The home plate from Kerry Wood's final game before retiring(signed by Woody himself, of course)
  • The blasted smithereens of what used to be a baseball(that fell by a certain seat) used in a certain baseball game on October 14, 2003
  • Several pieces of memorabilia from the actor James Denton(who used to bus tables at the establishment when he was a struggling young actor)
  • Richard Dent's 1985 Super Bowl trophy
  • The bat used to make the final out of the 2005 World Series
  • Several old newspaper clippings reporting on classic moments in Chicago Sports History
  •      And now, on to this week's question:

    The deadliest aviation accident on American soil happened right here in Chicago.  What date did it happen on?  For bonus points, what airport did the plane fly out of?  For extra bonus points, what was the name of the pilot of the plane?

         Best of luck, and we'll be back next week with the answer and more trivia.
