A painstaking search for plane crash survivors is continuing – 70 years after the accident.
On November 22, 1952, a U.S. Air Force C-124 Globemaster II flying from McChord Air Force Base, Washington, to Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, crashed into 9,629-foot Mount Gannett. All 52 passengers and crew members aboard were killed.
Weather conditions at the time prevented an immediate recovery, and later search attempts were unable to locate the crash site.
