Miami, Florida 10th November 2011: Under the leadership of its Founder and CEO, Benny F. Benitez in a dual community effort, the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group (94th ACG) continued their ongoing support of the Eastern Airlines Flight 401 Tribute Group, the Student body at the George T. Baker Aviation School and as well hosted a visiting official from the Washington, D.C. based Association of Flight Attendants in a joint presentation concerning the crash of Eastern Airlines Flight 401.

The crash which occurred back on the night of 29th December 1972 forever changes the safety factors of Commercial air travel of which we still benefit from today.

The presentation of each of the survivors stories from Flight 401 gave the Student a real world experience of meeting for their first time people who survived what the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) deemed an unsurvivable crash.

The technical portion of the presentation as presented by Benny Benitez, provided the audience with a detailed technical understanding of the Lockheed L-1011 aircraft of which none of the Students present that night have never seen and in which in its days was an aircraft that was technically ahead of its time.

The presentation gave the Students and all who were in attendance a complete understanding as to how and why Crew Resource Management (CRM) was established as a result of this crash.
