October 31st, 1994. Its Halloween. A small commuter plane was preparing to make its landing in the afternoon midwestern rain. American Eagle Flight 4184 was a short flight from Indianapolis to Chicago. A journey of only 150 miles give or take. A total of 68 passengers and crew were on board the small ATR72 turboprop that afternoon. The passengers may have been looking forward to arriving in Chicago but delays due to weather and air traffic congestion has been keeping them in the holding pattern south of Chicago.
American Eagle Flight 4184 Crashed near Roselawn, Indiana.
