Survivors of a military transport plane's 1992 crash in Evansville that killed 16 people are reflecting on the disaster 20 years later.
A Kentucky Air National Guard C-130 that had been taking part in pilot training maneuvers stalled and crashed into a restaurant near the Evansville Regional Airport on Feb. 6, 1992, sending flaming debris into an adjacent Drury Inn hotel.
Lynn Jackson was then 36 and in the hotel helping run a quality-control seminar for a dozen employees of a plumbing supply company when crash debris turned the room into an inferno. She's
one of only four people who left that room alive.
Jackson tells The Evansville Courier & Press she draws strength from her years recovering from severe burns and feels "blessed to have survived."
