English: On December 16, 1960, a United Airlines DC-8 and a TWA Super Constellation collided over NYC, killing all 128 aboard the two aircraft and six people on the ground. The accident was the world's deadliest aviation disaster at the time.

The TWA Constellation crashed on Miller Field in Staten Island.

The United DC-8 crashed in Park Slope, Brooklyn, at the intersection of Seventh Avenue and Sterling Place.

This new building at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Sterling Place marks the location of the Pillar of Fire Church which was destroyed in the crash.
