The 1946 Antarctica PBM Mariner crash occurred on 30 December 1946, on Thurston Island, Antarctica when a United States Navy Martin PBM-5 Mariner crashed during a blizzard.[1][2] Buno 59098 was one of 4 aircraft lost during Operation Highjump.[2]

The crash

The aircraft based from Шаблон:USS [2], Bureau Number 59098, callsign "George 1", hit a ridge and burned while supporting Operation Highjump.[2] The crash instantly killed Ensign Maxwell A. Lopez and Petty Officer Wendell K. Hendersin.[2] Two hours later, Petty Officer Frederick Williams also died.[2] Six crewmembers survived the crash, Aviation Radioman James H. Robbins, pilot Ralph "Frenchy" LeBlanc, co-pilot William Kearns, photographer Owen McCarty, Plane Captain J.D. Dickens, and Pine Island Captain H.H. Caldwell, a guest observer on the flight. They were rescued 13 days later by an aircraft from Pine Island. LeBlanc was so frostbitten from the conditions that a quadruple amputation was performed on him.[1] His legs were amputated on the Philippine Sea, a ship that was part of the rescue, and his arms were amputated later in Rhode Island.[1] Hendersin, Williams, and Lopez were buried at the crash site and their remains have not been recovered.[1][2]

In 2004, during a surveying flight, a Chilean navy airplane flew over the site using ground penetrating radar to discover the exact location.[3][4] A two-expedition recovery mission was planned, but subsequently cancelled, for both November 2008 and November 2009 to recover the three fatalities of the crash from their temporary grave.[5][3] In 2012, another group announced plans to drill Шаблон:Convert down to recover the bodies.[4] Rich Lopez, nephew of Maxwell Lopez, was part of the plan.[4] However the group struggled to raise the $1.5-3.5 million dollars they would need.[4]
