mystery of the river
I remember hearing this story long ago and it seems to resurface now and then. back in 1956 a B 25 bomber was flying in Pittsburgh, Pa ( 25 miles from my house ) and crashed into the Mon river (Monongahela river ). it sank to the bottom and was never seen again. not that it wasnt searched for...just vanished! into thin air...um, er water that is. where did she go?

Crash of SB-17G 44-85746 in the Olympic National Forest, Washington State.
On January 19, 1952, SB-17G 44-85746 was returning to McChord Field from a search and rescue mission of its own. Ironically, the crew was searching for survivors of a Korean plane which crashed off the Queen Charlotte Islands. On their flight back to base, the the SB-17 crew encountered heavy winds which pushed them off-course, directing them west of the designated flight path and over high mountains in the Olympic National Forest. The crew encountered heavy blizzard conditions and lost radio contact. Not knowing their exact location, they had no way of knowing their altitude was too low for the surrounding terrain. Three of the eight crewmen were killed, two of the survivors were seriously injured when the SB-17 impacted with the mountain range. Please keep in mind the loss of life when considering the following pictures. http://home.sprintmail.com/~kawatson/opff.htm

Nice vid here about the great film production designer Ken Adam. This guy designed the James Bond sets for loads of the older films such as You Only Live Twice, Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. He also designed the War Room for Dr Strangelove. Ken escaped Nazi Germany in 1934 and flew with the RAF during the war. He was the only German national to fly against the Nazis. If he had been captured he would have faced execution.
