March 12, 1965 –
Gene Sesky of Scranton lost control of the truck he was driving, hauling 30,000 pounds of bananas, barreling down Moosic Street toward central Scranton, unable to stop and crashes into cars, telephone poles, and houses on its way down the hill, injuring many people and killing Mr. Sesky.
Harry Chapin sang about of the tragic event in his song 30,000 Pounds Of Bananas.
