Wreckage of the plane that went missing in 1971 was found.
Vermont: A plane that flew 53 years ago in Vermont, USA, has remained missing till date. In 1971, this plane took off from Burlington Airport, but after that it suddenly disappeared in the sky. It could not be found till date. But now after 53 years, when the plane was found, everyone was surprised. Let us tell you that this was a small American plane, which took off with only 5 people. But after some time its contact was lost. It was a private plane. Now its debris has been recovered from Lake Champlain. Experts gave this information.
It is being told that this commercial plane went missing on 27 January 1971, shortly after taking off from Burlington Airport for Providence, Rhode Island. There were three employees of Georgia development company Cousin Properties and two crew members on board the plane. The company’s employees were working on a development project in Burlington. When the search was done initially, the wreckage of this 10-seater plane was not found and the lake remained frozen for four days after the plane went missing. At least 17 search operations were conducted to locate the plane.
This is how the missing plane was discovered
Searcher Gary Kozak and a team used an underwater remote-operated vehicle last month to find the plane’s wreckage in the lake at the same spot where the radio control tower last tracked the plane before it went missing. Sonar images were taken of the wreckage found in 200 feet (60 meters) of water near Juniper Island. “With all this evidence, we are 99 percent sure,” Kozak said Monday. He said finding the wreckage would bring some relief to the victims’ families and answers to many of their questions.
“Finding the wreckage of the plane is a happy feeling, but it is also a heartbreaking feeling. We know what happened. We have seen some pictures,” Barbara Nikita, a relative of pilot George Nikita, said in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday. (AP)
