A closer look
In 1947, the BSAA Star Dust vanished over the Andes, sparking wild conspiracy theories about UFOs and sabotage. The truth was just an epic middle finger from Mother Nature. The pilots had unknowingly flown into the jet stream—a high-altitude, hurricane-force wind tunnel that humanity hadn't quite figured out yet. Thinking they had cleared the mountains, they descended straight into a glacier. The crash caused an avalanche that buried the wreckage instantly, hiding the plane in a frozen time capsule until melting ice spat it back out fifty years later.
