In November 1946 a USAAF C-53 Skytrooper aircraft crashed in bad weather onto the Gauli Glacier in Switzerland. The subsequent rescue of the 12 on board was the world’s 1st alpine air rescue & made headlines around the world. The aircraft later disappeared deep under thick snow & ice. With glacial changes (melting etc) the crashed aircraft began to re-appear some 70 years later. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.NB: Smithsonian RL footage https://dai.ly/x6sn4hs
