In 1952 a military plane bound for Anchorage, Alaska came up a little bit short, crashing into a nearby glacier.
The crash killed 41 passengers and 11 crew members. But because the conditions were so unsafe (as it goes with glaciers), police and rescue workers couldn’t retrieve any of the wreckage. It took another 50 years of melting for the glacier to recede enough for a salvage mission to ensue.
