The military discovered about 480 bags with fragments of the remains of those killed in a plane crash in 1952 during excavations on the Colony Glacier north of the city of Anchorage in Alaska, reports AR.
It is reported that a search operation on the glacier began in 2012. Among the things found this month were a Buddha figurine, a flight suit, several three-cent postage stamps, a mass schedule at St. Patrick’s Church in Washington.
It is noted that the search team has set a goal to find and identify the remains of all those who died during the plane crash. It is noted that this is only a few years away, as the glacier gradually slides into Lake George.
Recall that a major aviation accident occurred on November 22, 1952, near Anchorage. The military aircraft C-124 Globemaster, flying from Washington state to Alaska, crashed into Mount Gannett. The crash killed 41 passengers and 11 crew members.
It was previously reported that six people died as a result of the collision of two seaplanes in the US state of Alaska. Among the dead are citizens of Canada and Australia. Ten people were injured, all of them from the USA.
