Wreckage of 1952 Pan Am Clipper Endeavor Found After 74 Years
The wreckage of the Pan Am Clipper Endeavor, which crashed off Puerto Rico in 1952 with 69 people aboard, has been found 74 years later nearly 2,000 feet underwater. The Douglas DC-4 broke into two sections after a water landing caused by engine failure shortly after takeoff. While all survived the initial crash, only 17 were rescued amid chaotic evacuation conditions. The discovery, involving the Air Sea Heritage Foundation, Discovery Channel, and Deep Sea Vision, highlights the crash's role in prompting modern aviation safety reforms.
