I was 2 yrs old when it crashed in my city.

I was too young at the time to remember. There is actually a lifted documentary on YouTube on this flight

The crash happened about 100 miles or so from where I live. I was in Grade 10 when it happened.

This accident was the straw that broke the camels back that would finally require every airliner to have TCAS (traffic collision avoidance system) installed. There hasn't been a mid air accident of this magnitude since.

What about Cerritos in 1986?

Still interesting after all these years...

TCAS still does not prevent human error. There was the Überlingen mid-air collision where TCAS worked properly but confusion with ATC caused pilots on one plane to disregard TCAS and do the opposite. And the Gol Transportes Aéreos Flight 1907 where the pilots on one plane didn't realize TCAS was not working and failed to correct the problem.

this was the flight with the famous flying screaming man.

I saw the documentary two days ago on the History Channel.
