Overview
Early on a January morning over sixty years ago, National Airlines Flight 2511 crashed near Bolivia, North Carolina. All thirty four individuals on board perished aboard the Douglas DC-6B aircraft. After several months of extensive investigating by federal authorities, this commercial airline tragedy ended up being one of the most mysterious episodes in aviation history. This perplexing plane crash was the result of many twists and turns of bizarre events that took place before the plane ever lifted off the runway. In addition, a number of critical facts from the lengthy investigation were deliberately withheld from the American public, as well as evidence of secretive collaboration between the CIA, the Mafia, Cuba and our own federal government. MIDNIGHT TERROR attempts to reveal the chilling truths of what really happened on that cold, wintery night back in 1960
