1962 Air France plane crash victims, Orly Airport

The Atlanta Constitution headline read, 106 ATLANTANS, 23 OTHERS DIE AS JETLINER CRASHES IN PARIS, Fiery Wreck Kills 115 Georgians.One hundred and twenty-one Americans, most of them civic and cultural leaders from the Atlanta area, were among 130 persons killed that early Sunday when an Air France jetliner crashed and burned on takeoff near Paris.It was the worst single-plane disaster in aviation history at that time, and the victims included an important segment of Atlanta’s civic leadership who were returning from a European tour sponsored by the Atlanta Art Association.Of the 132 persons aboard the Boeing 707 jetliner, the only survivors were two air hostesses who were miraculously blown to safety when the plane’s tail section snapped off.A third crew member, a steward, was pulled alive from the wreckage and sped to a hospital where he later died of injuries suffered in the crash which occurred shortly after noon Sunday, about 6:30 am Atlanta time.
