The Chicago Miler

A HEROIC PILOT, AND A TOUGH GUY

Tom O’Hara was the track star from Loyola University in Chicago who broke the world record for the indoor mile in 1964. His modesty and quiet demeanor as he shattered the record earned him a place on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Al Haynes was the pilot of United Flight 232 that crash-landed in Sioux City, Iowa. Although 112 people died, his efforts saved another 184 who were on the plane. Bill McEnerney was a tough guy who battled illness for over half a century.
