Missing Pan Am plane found after 74 years
Pan Am Flight 256, which crashed off Puerto Rico on 11 April 1952 killing 52 of 69 people on board, has been discovered 2,000 feet below the ocean surface after 74 years. A Discovery Channel team using an advanced autonomous underwater drone located the Clipper Endeavour's fuselage with its iconic Pan Am logo intact in the waters near San Juan. The tragedy led to mandatory pre-flight safety briefings becoming standard in aviation, as passengers in 1952 were not informed about emergency exits or flotation devices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
