Survivors Gather to Mark 25th Anniversary of United Flight 232 Crash
On July 19, 1989, a United DC-10 flying from Denver to Chicago lost all hydraulic power after its rear engine exploded. Using the 2 remaining engines, the crew managed to steer the plane to Sioux City where it crash landed.

Of the 296 people on board, 184 survived.

This weekend, when almost everyone has MH17 on their minds, Flight 232 survivors will be gathering for a 25th anniversary memorial event at the Mid America Museum of Aviation and Transportation in Sioux City.
