I remember the plane crash in 1965 at the Salt Lake Airport:

I didn't know that side of the family so am not sure what they said about it.
I do remember being at "Mutual" that night and there was a missionary in our ward who was expected home that night from his mission in London, I think. (I can't remember what I had for lunch but that's stuck in my mind). He either missed the flight or it was rescheduled so he was safe. It never crossed my mind that the garments didn't really have anything to do that.
