    WWII B-17 makes emergency landing outside Chicago

    Photo #12 suggests it may have been the Liberty Belle. Apparently all seven on board walked away without injury, so in spite of the sad pictures, it was a good landing.

    Not very many of these left anymore...

    "The richness of the experience that occurs when one is exposed tangibly to a subject, material, or process is unmatchable in the abstract... Thus, when 'touch it,' 'taste it,' smell it' become the watchwords, the results are most often extraordinary. Equally extraordinary are the lengths to which people will go to avoid [that] experience."
