That was the day world changed. In November sixteenth 2023, Flight AA 449 never arrived at the St Louis Airport in Wisconsin. Minutes after the plane had taken off, there were several issues involving the engine and outflow valve. The passengers on the plane were unconscious before the incident due to a malfunction in the pressure valve. The plane has been found, it was half sunken in the bayou’s of Louisiana. Its passengers have yet to be found.
The pilot sent a message to the airport minutes after takeoff, Pilot Aaron May informed Air Traffic Control about the issues with the aircraft. the planes malfunctions caused the Pilot to have almost zero control over the direction of the aircraft. after about two hours of the aircraft steering them towards the Gulf of mexico they began to fall towards the bayou’s of Louisiana and then finally crashed. the plane was found very quickly because the tracker still opperated, but when they discovered the aircraft. they were surprised when every single passenger was missing. It’s still a mystery where they went, and many have moved on.
The day the flight went missing, a photographer from a news company took this image of the terminal they were all supposed to walk through, that exact moment, maybe in another universe they would have. The airport held a mourning ceremony to honor the missing passengers and their loved ones six days after the incident.
To this day, the terminal sits empty, still waiting for its passengers to arrive. The passengers of flight AA 449 have been missing for over seventy years, but we still remember them and the empty terminal which was left unused. some say that when they are near the terminal, they can hear the passengers from AA 449 whispering to them “help us”
