You may find this timeline interesting.

Note this paragraph:

November 17, 1955:
A C-54 transport, enroute to Groom from Burbank, crashes into Mt. Charleston killing all aboard, 9 civilian workers and 5 military. (5)

I worked at the Skunk Works from 1985 until 1998. One of the structural engineers I knew there has an interesting history: His father was one of the civilians on that flight. His mother, father, and other relatives worked at Lockheed in those days. Lockheed was very much a 'family' company in those days.
