[25] Three tombstones are located at the Sewickley Cemetery, 10 miles (16 km) from the site of the crash and within the flight path of USAir 427. [26]
An aerial view of the US Air Flight 427 crash site from 1,000 feet in the air on Sept. 13, 1994. The plane entered what engineers call an aerodynamic stall, greatly reducing the lift on the wings.
A 2-D model of cortical sensory homunculus. A cortical homunculus (from Latin homunculus 'little man, miniature human' [1] [2]) is a distorted representation of the human body, based on a neurological "map" of the areas and portions of the human brain dedicated to processing motor functions, and/ or sensory functions, for different parts of the body.
Just after 7 p.m. Sept. 8, 1994, a USAir flight carrying 127 passengers and five crew members suddenly crashed into a Hopewell Township hillside as it was preparing to land at Pittsburgh ...
What the experiment found was a specific area of the lateral occipitotemporal cortex that responds selectively to visual images of human bodies and body parts, with the exception of faces. The experiment had subjects view images of different objects, including faces (as a control group), body parts, animals, parts of the face and intimate objects.
The inferior parietal lobule (subparietal district) lies below the horizontal portion of the intraparietal sulcus, and behind the lower part of the postcentral sulcus.Also known as Geschwind's territory after Norman Geschwind, an American neurologist, who in the early 1960s recognised its importance.

In a number of cases, brain areas are organized into topographic maps, where adjoining bits of the cortex correspond to adjoining parts of the body, or of some more abstract entity. A simple example of this type of correspondence is the primary motor cortex, a strip of tissue running along the anterior edge of the central sulcus .
