Pan Am crash site uncovered after 74 years
The wreckage of the Pan Am Clipper Endeavor, which crashed in the Atlantic Ocean in 1952, has been located 74 years after the incident. The aircraft broke into two sections and was discovered off Puerto Rico using a sonar-equipped drone. The crash, caused by multiple-engine failure shortly after takeoff, resulted in 17 survivors out of 69 onboard, and led to significant aviation safety reforms including pre-flight briefings and better flotation equipment.
