"Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?"
//
I've started writing this about 6 times, because nothing that I seem to start writing seems to accurately convey how important this building is.
The hospital at Ellis Island was restored after Hurricane Sandy, and for about $50, you can pay to go on a group tour and "trespass". The amount of research that has gone into finding out about what happened in this building, is astonishing. The tour is 2 hours long, and I felt incredibly humbled to be standing in most of these rooms.
I've starting writing this about 6 times, because the amount of adversity and obstacles that both employees and patients in these walls faced, were something that most of us on this tour will never even come close to experiencing.
300-something children were born here, and not one died.
The corners of the rooms are all rounded because if they were squared off, germs from incredibly contagious things like measles could hide.
The windows stayed open 24/7 - despite the weather - to keep germs moving.
They've found countless memos reminding the nurses to not hug the children (which meant that no one stopped hugging the children).
In one room, the window looked straight on to the Statue of Liberty.
I've started writing this about 6 times, because imagining what these people had to endure is almost unfathomable, and the fact that we have the privilege to walk through the exact halls that they walked through, is also kind of mind blowing.
And at more than one point, I found myself thinking...man, we've come so far.
But really, have we?
This military Boeing C-97 "Stratofreighter" can be compared with the civil version Boeing 377 "Stratocruiser".
The C-97 was pressurised and could cruise at 30.000 feet. Her maiden flight was made in Renton in November 1944.
She was powered with four Pratt and Whitney R-4360 Wasp piston engines, each 4 rows, in total each engine 28 cilinders.
It is not difficult to see the influence of the B-29 Stratofortress of WW2!
After WW2 she was converted to a "fuel tanker in air" and used during the cold war.
This aircraft XA-PII with construction number 17149, first flew with USAF as 53-3816. Her last operator was the Mexican, Aeropacifico.
This photo is made when this aircraft was sold to Hamilton Aviation at Tucson, Arizona in December 1992, where I caught her.
No more flying, she is broken up in 2003.
The cockpit section was saved and moved to Pima Air Museum in Arizona.
