The Sacred Grounds of ValuJet Flight 592 Valujet Flight 592 crashed in the Florida Everglades on May 11th, 1996. A memorial for those who perished is nestled in the Florida Everglades just north of highway 41. Native Americans that live in the area and the families of those that perished consider this site a sacred burial ground and that it should remain undisturbed. It is now a part of Mother Nature. Locals and tourists unknowingly pass by the memorial and leave litter and trash behind. Not only is this disrespectful to the 110 that perished, it also affects the ecosystem of the Everglades that is the lifeline to the survival of South Florida. The Everglades Conservation and Clean-up Coalition spend a Saturday to go out and honor this sacred memorial and by foot, cleaned up the litter and trash in the area.
