Yesterday, on the 30th anniversary of the incident, we looked back at the horrific crash of American Airlines Flight 191. Now, families of some of the crash's victims say they think a memorial is in order. CBS 2's Vince Gerasole talked to sisters Kim Jockl and Melody Smith, whose parents died in the crash. Said Smith, "If people can find some peace, they need to have a place to do that." There's currently only one local memorial: a park in Northbrook named after Larry Fink. But the sisters have started an online petition they hope spreads the word and will lead to a more permanent memorial to all the victims who died in the crash.

Why bother with a petition? They should just start collecting donations for a plaque or statue or something.
That would be too much like work. They'd rather have somebody else put up the memorial for them.
A sad day no doubt. I wasn't even living in Chicagoland at the time but remember the horror well.
I hope the families can find some solace after 30 years memorial or no memorial.
