‘WISHstory’ | Flight 4184 tragedy on Halloween 30 years ago

Roselawn plane crash

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Thirty years ago on Halloween, like so many unpredictable Octobers in Indiana, this day faced a weather system dropping rain and temperatures.

In the latest “WISHstory,” celebrating the 70th anniversary of WISH-TV, we head up north to
Roselawn and the fate of Flight 4184 on Oct. 31, 1994.

The commuter flight bound for Chicago experienced bad weather, and never made it to its final destination.

In the report, longtime anchor Debby Knox explains how she learned to be respectful to the audience in a delicate news situation while simultaneously reckoning with personal fears.
