Pan Am Flight 759, a Boeing 727-235, was a scheduled passenger flight from Miami to Las Vegas with an en route stop at New Orleans. On July 9, 1982 at 4:07:57 PM central day light time, seven crew members and 138 passengers began takeoff at the New Orleans International airport. Flight 759 was leaving New Orleans for Las Vegas during a heavy thunderstorm and suddenly crashed 2 minutes into the flight in a neighborhood called the Roosevelt subdivision in south Kenner. The weather was described as freaky as Captain McCullers completed his preflight checks. Flight 759 began takeoff and only reached 150 feet before plummeting into the suburb, killing an additional 8 people on the ground.
