History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Steelers 40, Colts 14, Plane 3


As if it had gone straight thru the up rites for three points, a single engine aircraft's wreckage rests in the upper tier seats of Baltimore's Memorial Stadium following a December 19, 1976 NFL Playoff game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Colts. Some officials credited the lopsided score of 40 - 14 in Pittsburgh's favor for saving many lives, as most fans had already left the stadium. The pilot was charged with violating plane safety regulations.
