No it isn’t due to global warming in case any moonbats from the Church of Goracle stop by.
The Colony Glacier in Alaska is giving up the dead it has held in a frozen grave for 62 years.
Little by little, the monster slab of ice is grinding out the remnants of an Air Force C-124A Globemaster, a military transport airplane that was Korea-bound on Nov. 22, 1952, when it crashed into the side of Mount Gannett, about 40 miles east of Anchorage.
The wreckage, along with the remains of 52 servicemen, slid into the glacier next to the mountain. Recovery efforts never got into high gear because of a rugged winter that year. It wasn’t long before the glacier claimed the aircraft and its passengers.
Two years ago, the glacier began churning up pieces of the wreckage — 12 miles from the crash site — and the debris was spotted by the crew of an Alaska National Guard Black Hawk helicopter on a training mission.
Now the military has collected some human remains and matched DNA samples with descendants of the killed servicemen. In late April, more than six decades after the crash, the government began sending families notifications of the positive identifications. Long overdue funeral services are being planned.
And yet, Tonja Anderson-Dell, 43, of Tampa, waits. She spearheaded online a social media charge to find and recover the remains and wreckage on behalf of the relatives of the servicemen on that plane. Her grandfather, Isaac Anderson, then 21 and in the Air Force for less than two years, was among the passengers who perished in the crash. He left behind a 20-year-old wife, Dorothy, and an 18-month old son, Isaac Jr., Anderson-Dell’s father.
