After United’s DC-10, Flight 232, crashed near Storm Lake, Iowa, on July 19, 1989, 110 volunteers with metal detectors searched 690 acres over four days and recovered 22 airplane parts. Six of the parts were significant to the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) investigation of the crash.
“When we contacted the National Transportation Safety Board, they were tickled pink that we even existed,” said the FMDAC’s Thompson, who helped organize the search. “They had no idea how they were going to cover such a large area.”
