      I was a flight attendant for 3 years. Let me just say i have heard alot of things about crash sites from reputable people. There are places that are filled with activity. After going to the Eastern 401 site in Miami I am a believer. There was something there.

    3. There is a monument to the crash victims by the drive to the mobile home park. No bodies were buried in the field where the bulk of the two planes landed. The relatives either claimed the bodies or they are buried in the Shelbyville City cemetery in a mass grave. I’ve been to the site a time or two and have spoken to Skip Hess the Indianapolis Star reporter who lived nearby and when he arrived at the crash site the first responders handed him a handful of marking flags and he helped walk the field and marked where he saw body parts. It and the mass grave are very sad locations.
