Garrison Commander Col. Reid E. Furman commemorated the 40th anniversary of the Chinook Crash in Mannheim. On Sept. 11, 1982, a Chinook helicopter departing from the Mannheim Airfield crash landed on the Federal Highway 656 while on a demonstration jump in recognition of the 375th anniversary of the awarding of city rights to Mannheim. 46 passengers died including 23 French, nine British, six Germans, and eight Americans, including the five-person crew and two AFN reporters. Every year on this anniversary, family members of the victims lay wreaths and pay their respects. Photo by Petra Lessoing, USAG Rheinland-Pfalz Public Affairs.
