Miami, Florida 12th March 2009: During our review of large amounts of data harvested and provided by the group member's, the survivors of the 1972 crash, resulted in these great photographs of N310EA. These photographs shows N310EA taxing into the gate at St. Louis for ground crew traning. Keeping in mind that N310EA first flight from the Lockheed Burbank, California facility was on 30th July 1972 and there soon after delivered to Eastern and the crash which occurred five month thereafter, N310EA has a short live operational life.

Our research of the Eastern Airlines Company records storage facility, located at the Eastern Financial Credit Union building here in Miami, Florida, produced over three hundred Kodak 35mm color slides all about Eastern L-1011's, which upon full inspection, we hope it may yield further pictures of N310EA for publishing.

These photos were sent to me via Bill Hersch from an EAL ground crew worker in STL who told me that the arrival of N310EA was for crew training. Not a revenue flight.

The December 29th 1972 Crash of Eastern Airlines Flight 401 Lockheed L-1011 N310EA (s/n 1011)

This Blogspot is dedicated to the those who died, those who survived and the countless of lives that were touched and effected even to this day by the crash of Eastern Airlines Lockheed L-1011-1, aircraft N310EA, while operating as flight 401 from (JFK) to (MIA) on the night of December 29th 1972. The crash of flight 401 became the world's first jumbo jet airliner accident when it crashed into the Florida Everglades. Despite the tremendous lost from the ashes of Flight 401 arose the training / standard concept known through out and among the worlds airlines and crews as Crew Resource Management (CRM). Our effort is to raise awarness to the crash, its established heritage to CRM and toward the creation of a Memorial to those who became bright stars among the dark Decemeber Florida Sky on that fateful night.

Air Boats and Helicopters The Tools of The First Responders in 1972

A great many lives rescued on the night of the December 29th 1972 crash are owed to the use of Air Boats and Helicopters. One notable man who was the first at the site was Bullfrog "Bud" Marquis.
Bud's presence out there that night while hunting for frogs resulted in the saving of many lives. HH-52A Helicopters from the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station at Opa Locka Airport and H-34J's "Choctaw" from the U.S.A.F 301th Air Reserve Rescue Squadron (ARRS) based at Homestead Air Force
Base also provided the life saving Air Rescue capabilities.
