Description
A United Airlines DC-4 crashed into Medicine Bow Peak on the night of October 6, 1955. The 12,500 summit is located in the Medicine Bow Mountain Range of Albany County, Wyoming. The accident has never been completely explained. Perhaps the likeliest explanation for the disaster is that Pilot C.C. Cooke took a shortcut to compensate for Flight 409's having been more than eighty minutes behind schedule. The airliner left Denver en route to Salt Lake City at 9:33 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Other theories to explain what happened include an overheating engine.
