1991 airline crash movie set

In 1991, Columbia Pictures spent $400,000 to build a fake airline crash atop a Piru bridge for the movie "Hero." This photo by Los Angeles Times photographer Lawrence K. Ho became my From the Archives blog post for today.

A couple weeks later I took my own version, below, and sold it to Associated Press.

Same scene, but Ho used a wide angle lens. I used a telephoto.

Personally I like Ho's version better.
