It has been 30 Years since the Disastrous Flight 427 incident in Beaver County Pa . Yet one rumor about how it happened will not go away why?

 It has been 30 years since the fatal flight of US Air 427 Crashed into a field in Beaver County Pa near Alliquippa .on September 8 1994  I mean no disrespect to those who lost family but there has been a persistent rumor needs to be confirmed or ruled completely false

I remember it well I was in class at CCAC South getting my life back on track after getting permanently crippled Leg  in a construction accident  when I got word  over my pager and left and meet up  with my Allegheny Valley React  Communications Team  ready to head out when we where cancelled  at last minute .

All of a sudden they wanted no volunteers and even Volunteer Fire Fighters  first to respond where asked to leave once county ,state and federal agency's showed up.

But why they claimed volunteer would be more likely to sue for mental anguish and other issues VS. Government employees who could not 

All the answers total  complete bull shit. 

Civilians have been used at other crash sites . Of course this just helped fuel speculation  which is more than warranted when it looked into.. Sounds just like  Keckburg remove the civilians and bring in the military

I have even done Alarm and electrical in homes  close to where crash happened and those home owners say something wrong going on with official ruling . 

Over those 30 years I have run into many former US Air  employees and mechanics etc. and everyone i have talked to say they disagree with FAA ruling it was a tail rudder issue .

Many insist it was an explosive  went off caused Rutter issue and  this  explosion was deliberate  because there was an extremely important federal witness being transported to Pittsburgh for a Grand Jury hearing with very damaging information on Political figures.

Now it seems inconceivable they would kill a whole plane of passengers and make it look like  an accident  thee witness could be taken out many different ways  . Yet why would all these Airline  employees insist otherwise?

 Yes from all I can find there was a witness on the flight  who was killed

Part of this whole conspiracy is that  the Late Mike Boguslovski a Consumer Reporter for WPXI TV 

was fired  for looking into the rumors .

.Plus .Given all the conspiracy and not getting the truth from our government about everything from JFK assassination to 911   it is understandable how this rumor still persists .

 I was doing work for Pittsburgh Custom Darkroom on Pittsburgh's North side  who processed many of the crash scene photos  for coroners office and they where simply horrifying and daily they sent employees home sick who processed the black and white photos many I saw when there was a problem with the processor.  Yes many County employees who worked that crash scene I know  where never  right in the head afterward  and it lead to the downfall of the illegally and improperly  formed  Delta Team  and some of its leaders .

Yes there is plenty of grief to go all around  this incident which many will not accept and this is why this rumor and conspiracy still exists .






Upcoming Fall Paranormal Shows





 





Yes Pittsburgh at one time had Two Red Light Districts

 

 Hard to believe but in the 1980s Pittsburgh had 2 Red Light Districts one in Pittsburgh's North Side on Federal Street which had the Mini Ritz Adult Theater and infamous  Garden Theater  and the several block long one in Downtown on Liberty ave Liberty ave was full of Adult Theaters , Massage Parlors and Adult Book stores  and ruled by one of the most colorful characters  of the time   Dante Tex Gill who was a women who dressed as a man and had a wife.

Unfortunately all this vice lead to a War between  Dante her boss George Lee  and the  Pittsburgh Mob and resulted in a bombing with killed one masseuse.

 I had a customer on liberty ave Ace Amusement owned by the colorful Character Larry Hirsch and one night  while working fixing his alarm we had to evacuate when they found a bomb in  the mens room in the Liberty Adult Art Cinema next door. The stupid ass bouncer . Brought the bomb in a cigarette pack out on to street before calling police. as we evacuated it was sitting on side walk and had a red blinking light. .

 

Ace  Amusement was to the right 



 

After the war ended Tex Gill went to jail  for tax evasion Mr Lee was Killed  and the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust started buying up renovating and tearing down these seedy establishments .

The only remnants left today are the old Edison Hotel now known as a Blush Exotic gentleman's club and the adult book store at Smithfield street .

But what an exciting and interesting period it was.


There was almost a 2nd Boston Tea Party in Leetsdale Pa in the 1980s. when some one opened a British Tea Shop?

 As you ride down Pa 65 South  thru Leetsdale you pass some industrial building and then come to an intersection with an old railroad building which has been many things over the years including a dry cleaners. The railroad crossing has been long closed but this is how you got back to the industrial park at one time .


It sits empty at the moment but in early 80s  Cathy Windsor  turned the building into a British Tea Room and restaurant what a neat ideal for tea lovers and history buffs . Unfortunately as part of the decor she put a large British flag on a flag pole out front and that's what doomed her project from the start  and saw it closed in less than 6 months.

Town citizens ignorance  where outraged she put up such a large British flag on American soil and threatened to burn the place to the ground and not patronize it, 

Actually it was a very nice place for those of us who love tea and town-folks where acting very ignorantly to the Decor there was no slighting on the USA ever in the owners mind. 

There is a very similar place up on Pa 19 in Wexford minus the big flag and everyone thinks its great to be able to enjoy British Delicacies 



The Forgotten Oakford Park Tragedy which killed 21 people in Jeanette Pa on July 5 1903

 Imagine its 1903 and  you are sauntering in your Sunday Best clothing enjoying a local Trolley Amusement Park  in Jeanette unaware the park will see a very dark and terrifying tragedy about to happen to them


.

When a sudden unexpected cloud burst would overflow and break the dam of Lake Placid which is one of the attractions of the park 

https://www.thirdstopontheright.com/oakford-park/

the park manager seeing water starting to rise in the park and flowing over the dam tried to get people to go to higher ground but it was too late for over 20 of them being swept away.

  The park was destroyed but was quickly rebuilt in 1904 and lasted well into the 40s 

and the swimming pool till the 80s. '

Today a gas station sits where Trolley Entrance was and an old garage across the street was the one time trolley shed. 

and the park just a memory .


The strange looking metal markers at Washington blvd and Allegheny River Blvd. in Pittsburgh

 As you ride down ARB  Allegheny River Blvd you come to the intersection of Washington Blvd and are greeted by 2 out of place metal monuments that are the entrance way to the City of Pittsburgh  Brilliant Yard Asphalt Plant 


 


What makes them even stranger is the holes in the side of them. so what are they and where did they come from ?

Well these 2 metal monuments where originally railing pieces for a bridge on Murray Ave between Green Field and Squirrel Hill neighborhoods  and when bridge was replaced instead of being discarded they where placed at the plant entrance. 

But Why? good question as I have looked for and not been able to find a good answer .

Now you would think they would have honored the neighborhood where they came from with them but no there at the entrance of a asphalt plant and now you know .


Lake Go Go in Indiana County Pa. a one time strange place to go to.

 I just recently learned about the one time  absolutely bizarre displays which adorned GO GO Lake  in Indiana County Pa  the 70s  put there by the Frye ? Family from what I can find out  who lived in a white trailer across from the lake off  Stadtmiller Rd.in Ernst



 



 





The lake still exists but all the bizarre stuff has been removed over the years

But what was it ever all about ?   As I do more research I will fill you in  about this strange place . But it was the place to party apparently for young teens .
