United Airlines Flight 629, registration N37559, was a Douglas DC-6B passenger aircraft, nicknamed "Mainliner Denver," which was blown up with a dynamite bomb placed in the checked luggage. The explosion occurred over Longmont, Colorado, while the airplane was en route from Denver, Colorado, to Portland, Oregon, and on to Seattle, Washington, on November 1, 1955. All 39 passengers and 5 crew members on board were killed in the explosion and crash.
Investigators determined that Jack Gilbert Graham was responsible for bombing the airplane to kill his mother, whom he hated, a passenger on the flight, and obtain a large life-insurance policy payout on her. He was tried, convicted, and executed for his crime.
