In this episode of Unexplained Arkansas, your host Lisa discusses the horrible and tragic crash landing of American Airlines Flight 1420--this is Part 2 of a 2 Part episode.
On the evening of June 1, 1999, American Airlines pilots Rick Buschmann and Mike Origel are trying to make their last final leg of their day by flying from Dallas/Fort Worth to Little Rock National Airport. Storms that had been building all day in this portion of the country had delayed the pilots on previous flights and time was running out.
The pilots were in a rush to get ahead of a storm and to not delay to the point where they would exceed their maximum flight hours per that day and per the regulations in 1999.
The fatigue and the rush to get home would turn fatal when the plane would land in Little Rock but it would crash 800 ft beyond the runway killing 11 people from the flight and injuring soo many more.
Listen to the whole episode to find out all the details of Flight 1420.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
