Glacier Keeps Revealing Pieces of 1952 Plane Crash

Search persists for remnants of 1952 glacier plane crash


For 60 years, rough glacial terrain east of Anchorage held tight the 52 men killed when their Air Force plane slammed into Mount Gannett on Nov. 22, 1952.


Now, for the second summer running, plane wreckage and human remains are being given up by Colony Glacier, more than a dozen miles from the crash site.

The mission to recover and, eventually, identify the human remains is being led by the Hawaii-based U.S. Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and its recovery leader, forensic anthropologist Gregory Berg.

Thankfully they are continuing to recover the remains. Staying true to our heritage and not leaving people out there...
