    Description

    This is a large lot of Detroit Newspapers and two Official Northwest Airlines News Wires of the Detroit Runway Crash.  On December 4th 1992 a heavy fog hit Detroit and two aircraft got lost and ran into each other while taxing to take off. .  One aircraft's wing tip ripped along the length of another aircraft.  This aircraft caught fire and several people died.
    I worked for Northwest Airlines and was working  at the airport that day.  I knew a co-worker who was on the aircraft that had no damage.  I printed a news wire of the crash at 2pm and 4 pm the afternoon of the crash.  These are old fashioned computer print outs that fold.  Each print out is several square pages long.  there is also a NWA memo to the ramp in Detroit concerning the accident.
    In this bid are several papers on December 4th.  The Detroit News ran two different editions on December 4th.  Also included is a USA Today on the 4th and two more papers on the day after follow-up stories December 5th.
    I will ship this set in a box.
