United Airlines Flight 553 crashed on approach to Midway Airport 50 years ago Thursday, killing 45 people.
The Boeing 737 crashed into several homes near 70th Place and Lawndale Avenue as well as neighboring streets.
Among the dead were Congressman George Collins and Dorothy Hunt, the wife of Watergate conspirator Howard Hunt. Hunt was carrying $10,000 in $100 bills at the time of the crash, spawning conspiracy theories that the money was connected to Watergate and that the plane was sabotaged.
