Cecelia Cichan

Cecelia Marie Cichan (born April 10, 1983,[3] later known by her adoptive name Cecelia Marie Cichan-Lumpkin[4] and now by her married name, Cecelia Cichan Crocker)[a] is an American woman who was the sole survivor of Northwest Airlines Flight 255 on August 16, 1987 when she was four years old. The McDonnell-Douglas MD-82 crashed during takeoff from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. It was bound for Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona, with an onward flight to Santa Ana, California.[5]

A popular, but untrue, story credited her mother, Paula Cichan, with saving Cecelia's life. Supposedly Paula Cichan wrapped herself around the seat that her daughter occupied, protecting Cecelia from the post-crash fire. However, Cecelia was located by rescue workers in her seat – several feet away from her mother's body. Paula Cichan died in the crash, along with Cecelia's father, Michael Cichan, and her 6-year-old brother, David Cichan.[6]

After the crash Cecelia Cichan lived with relatives in Birmingham, Alabama, who shielded her from public attention. She graduated from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in the spring of 2006 with a bachelor's degree in psychology.[4]

Early life

Cecelia Cichan was born on April 10, 1983 in Columbus, Ohio, to Paula Ann (nee: Ciamaichela)[7] and Michael Anthony Cichan.[8] She had an older brother named David Anthony Cichan[9] and is of Polish decent.[10] Paula was a nurse and Michael was a botany professor.[11]
