	United Airlines Flight 624 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		United Airlines Flight 624, a DC-6 (NC37506), originated in San Diego, California with stops in Los Angeles and Chicago enroute to LaGuardia Airport in New York City.
		The Douglas DC-6 fleet had been grounded by Civil Aviation authorities for four months during the previous winter as a result of the fatal crash of United Airlines Flight 608 on October 24, 1947.
		Flight 624 had just completed a routine initial descent as part of its approach into the New York area, when the forward cargo hold fire indicator light illuminated, leading the flight crew to believe there was a fire in that cargo hold.

	Douglas DC-6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The DC-6 was known as the C-118 Liftmaster in United States Air Force service, and as the R6D in United States Navy service.
		The United States Army Air Forces commissioned the DC-6 project as the XC-112 in 1944.
		However, a series of mysterious in-flight fires (including the fatal crash of United Airlines Flight 608) grounded the DC-6 fleet later that year: the cause was found to be a fuel vent located adjacent to the cabin heater intake.

	IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
		To airline crewmembers, CVRs represented a frightening and unprecedented invasion of privacy and intrusion into the workplace, since the existence of a CVR meant that every workplace conversation would be recorded, and every statement and action would be placed into a record to be reviewed and analyzed in excruciating detail.
		Gannett’s remaining silence on the issue otherwise is hardly surprising, however, since it almost certainly seeks the tapes for the basest of commercial purposes: to exploit the sounds of Flight 93 for commercial gain.
		In contrast, release of the tapes themselves would cause significant, tangible harm to the victims of Flight 93 and their families, and to pilots and the flying public generally.

		Flight delays continued to increase 12 percent faster in the first five months of 2000 than in the same period in 1999.
		During repeated telephone calls to track down their bags, the airline's representatives repeatedly tell the couple that the airline knows the location of the bag and that it is on its way.
		Since the airlines have no obligation to inform passengers of the actual reason for any delay, see supra note 41 and associated text, the problem described above is made worse by the fact that passengers are dependent on the airline to inform them that the airline is acting outside the scope of its contractual authority.
