On September 1, 1961, TWA Flight 529, a Lockheed Constellation carrying 78 passengers and crew, crashed just southwest of this site. At the time, it was the deadliest single plane accident in the country's history. The dead included 73 passengers and five crew members, and volunteer first responders from the Clarendon Heights Fire Protection District and nearby volunteer departments were recognized for their actions that morning.
