Walter Krier, his wife and two young children were at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor near the Executive Airport in Sacramento, California to celebrate his birthday. Tragically, all four members of the Krier family died when a F-86 Sabrejet crashed into the ice cream parlor.
"On September 24, 1972, a privately owned Canadair Sabre Mk. 5 jet piloted by Richard Bingham failed to take off while leaving the "Golden West Sport Aviation Air Show" at Sacramento, California's Executive Airport, crashing into a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor. Twenty-two people died and twenty-eight were injured. The accident remains the third-deadliest aircraft accident in the United States involving victims on the ground." (Wikipedia)
In 2002 a memorial was erected at that location with the names of 22 victims of the accident.
