Secrets Beneath the Waves: The Long-Lost Wreckage of Pan Am Flight 526A Unveiled After Over 70 Years
The team had Miss Millie scan the ocean floor with high-resolution sonar for around 30 hours, until, on June 2, the vehicle found the wreck.
The photographs show that the plane’s main body is still largely intact. The landing gear and main cabin windows of the Clipper Endeavor are still visible, as is the Pan American World Airways logo and part of the plane’s name.
The team told CNN that there are no plans to disturb the wreck site, noting that the site is a “grave” for those that perished after the crash. They are planning, however, to work with the Puerto Rican government to coordinate protections for the site and construct a memorial for the victims.
Gates also told CNN that there are two known survivors alive today: a now-102-year-old woman who helped open the plane door to let passengers out, and a baby, found floating on the ocean’s surface and brought back to life by rescuers.
After reading about the wreck of Pan Am Flight 562A, learn about Alexander Kliuyev, the Soviet pilot who tried to land a plane blind, killing 70 people. Then, discover the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crash, where survivors were forced to turn to cannibalism while awaiting rescue.
