About this event
Join us for a compelling look at the story of United Airlines Flight 629, which was destroyed by a bomb shortly after departing Denver on November 1, 1955—the first bombing of a commercial airliner over U.S. soil. This tragic event claimed the lives of all 44 people aboard and forever changed aviation security, criminal investigations, and the American justice system. Through historical accounts, investigative insights, and the lasting legacy of the Flight 629 Memorial, discover how a Colorado tragedy reshaped the nation's approach to public safety and why the victims' stories continue to be remembered 70 years later.
