This Wednesday marks the 53rd anniversary of the tragic Canadair Sabre Korean War-era jet crash at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor in Sacramento. The incident occurred when the jet failed to take off from Sacramento Executive Airport during an air show, resulting in the loss of 22 lives, including 12 children. In a video clip dating back to 2002, we highlighted survivor Carrie McCluskey's advocacy for a memorial at the former crash site, now home to the Sacramento police headquarters.
