I had 3 friends from High School on that flight. Ryan Sparks, his girlfirend, and her friend. Ryan was a great friend and would always stick up for underclassmen. I played basketball with him my Freshman and Sophmore year.

I agree-Alaska Airlines is one of the most safest airlines to fly on, and it is my favorite airline!

I can’t believe it’s been 8 years. This brings back bad memories. :(

Sorry for your loss.

I too lost someone aboard that flight: my college friend Nina was on board with her fiance. The last contact Nina had with her family in San Francisco, she and Larry were having the time of their lives on vacation.

R.I.P, Nina Voronoff,
Nurse at UCSF Hospital.

You are sorely missed.

Alaska Airlines has a no time for maintenance works, cuz they needs a lot of money. thats why the people died, thats so sad!

“We have confirmed from an FAA spokesperson that it was a 737.” No it wasn’t . . . it was an MD-80.

Such a sad day. :-( I read a speech for one of the passengers at his retirement dinner just a month prior to the crash…the trip to Mexico was a gift to him and his family. Rest in peace, 261.

my aunt lived down there at the time and hate to be disgusting, but to give you an idea of how bad it was: she said it looked like seagulls were picking guts out of the water
