Uptown’s Adriano Espaillat Honors The Memory Of The Victims Of Flight 587

Yesterday Sunday, October 29, 2017, with their friends, families, and community leaders, New York unveiled “Flight 587 Way” at 181st Street and Amsterdam Avenue in honor to the victims and their families whose lives have been marked on Monday, November 12, 2001 by this tragic accident. On the Morning of November 12, 2001, American Airlines Flight 587 bound to the Dominican Republic crashed into the Belle Harbor neighborhood of Queens. The passing of time has not erased the pain that all 265 victims left in their family, friends, and loved ones’ lives. This is the second deadliest plane crash in the United States aviation history, and to many – in the Dominican community – is essential to remember this catastrophic plane crash. “I’m proud to join my colleagues in government to honor the 265 victims by unveiling “Flight 587 Way”. said U.S Congressman Adriano Espaillat (NY-13). “The crash of Flight 587, on November 12, 2001, claimed the lives of all 265 victims, most of whom were Dominican or Dominican-American. We must always remember the lives of those lost that day, and I am proud to stand with the Dominican community to help memorialize those affected by this catastrophe.”
