GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) _ About 60 people attended the dedication of a granite memorial for the victims of the Delta Air Lines Flight 191 crash at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Surviving flight crew members, first responders and family attended the ceremony on Monday, which is the 25th anniversary of the fiery jumbo jet crash.
During a landing attempt, the jet crashed, leaving 137 people dead. The flight was from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The Delta crash, during a thunderstorm, drew attention to ways to better detect wind shear.
DFW airport spokesman David Magana says the granite memorial, placed about two miles west of the crash site, also honors emergency responders to the Aug. 2, 1985, accident.
