Why it surfaced

Project Milk Bottle assembles accident records, crew biographies, crash photographs, a timeline, and material attributed to a 2025–2026 Freedom of Information Act request. Its aim is not simply to retell a crash, but to preserve an overlooked local episode and show what official records reveal—and leave out.
