My mother and I were driving in the area of Kearns when we heard about this crash on the radio, and because we were within close range I remember talking her into going to the scene. I was 18. We drove over to the scene. By the time we got there, the cars had lined the streets probably two blocks away from the scene. We walked towards the Catholic church while looking around at the debris that had fallen to the ground. What I remember most are only the body parts strewn everywhere. They leave an imprint on your mind. I remember thinking I would not have recognized them as human, had I not known. They hadn't gotten around to covering the smaller remains yet. As we approached the church where the majority of the wreckage site was, the remains were larger, but covered with blankets. The police had just begun to tape off the area so we watched from across the street. We didn't stay more than 20 minutes or so. I remember feeling incredibly sad after we left the scene. I can't forget the song that was playing on the radio on the drive to wherever it was we were headed. The song is by Crowded House and it was "Hey Now. The chorus says, "Hey now, Hey now, don't dream it's over..." which resonated through my head because I just kept thinking of those lives that were lost. To me, it was a reminder that this wasn't the end. Every time I have heard that song since this crash, I think of that crash. It's burned into my mind. Another thing I most remember is that prior to our arrival on the scene, we were listening to people calling in to the radio station with questions regarding the crash. One question in particular stands out. A woman asked, "Is the church okay?" I remember and still am incensed that someone would even consider the condition of a building when bodies were strewn everywhere. I have to assume she meant no ill will by that, but I've never forgotten that. I couldn't believe anyone would ask about a building when people were dead. I forget which station it was, but at the time my mom and I often listened to "Talk Radio." KeesyM66.29.190.51 (talk) 06:00, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
