The Feather Lady

On October 4, 1960, Eastern Airlines Flight 375 took off from
Boston’s Logan airport, and then, two minutes later, it crashed. 62
people died. Investigators couldn't figure out what had happened,
and they decided to ask a scientist working at the Smithsonian for
help. Roxie Laybourne's investigation helped launch a whole new
field of science that changed aviation and forensics. Special
thanks to the Smithsonian Institution Archives for letting us share
audio of Roxie Laybourne. Say hello on Twitter, Facebook and
