- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- A US archaeological team has been scanning the waters for the remains of a pilot whose P-47 fighter aircraft crashed in 1944.
The French military is helping with the expedition, which began on June 25.
At 18 meters deep, divers managed to retrieve sediments, which will be analyzed for possible DNA traces at a US laboratory.
The US Defense POW / MIA Accounting Agency has a budget of 154 million US dollars to retrieve remains of 200 missing soldiers worldwide every year.

They should leave him where he is. Leave him in peace
Thank you for your service sir. welcome home.
They've been buried in their aircraft for 75yrs+ why not leave them be? I'd rather have my bones remain with the remains of my aircraft.
That's shows that you're not yet wise in ways of human sercrifices
To bring closure to the families.
@@stephenandrezeywskijr9899 All that is left of family who actually knew the deceased pilots, are ancients in their 90's. Younger generations are not likely to visit graves more than once to take selfies. 😑
Staggering loss of life at those numbers
I praise their hard work in some very difficult terrain and environments.
after i got married, i explained the financial/insurance/etc arrangements i had, and military benefits if "something" were to happen to me when i deployed. "I don't care about the money--I just want you!" heartbreaking. it's not about the money spent here, people, it's about those left behind, and this is why efforts like this are made.
You cam always make more money you can't make another me and you
Who writes these narratives?
The plane was found near
Crotia.."where they believe it crashed."
How else would it have gotten there Einstein?
It is the wordiness typical of undergrad essay and RUclips narratives, superfluous or even misleading verbiage, a lack of editing. Try to fill a certain number of lines or pages and simply publish whatever your first draft says and this is what you get.
@@markh9875 Misleading I'm sure. 27,500 US located in the Mediterranean, I don't believe that.
Terry, they don't beleive it crashed near Croatia. When you bitch and moan, make an effort to know what you're about. The wreck is near Corsica. Corscia is south-east of Marseilles. It's an island. Croatia is 1000 kiliometers away from France, and is a an independent nation. French authorities don't tell Croatia what to do.
Corsica! Not Crotia!
Well who ever the mystery pilot is I'm glad hes coming home and his living relatives will have closure may the pilot servicemen rest in peace thank u to the people who find and bring our lost servicemen and bring them back home to there families
2nd Lt John McGrath 🇺🇸🙏🏾🕊
Think about the lads who died on the high seas - the Battle of the Atlantic, PQ17 etc, and who are never coming home, and be thankful. Rest in peace, lads, and thanks.
Waste of money. Rather spend on living Vets who need financial assistance and therapy, NOW. 😑
Soon all memories of MIA or POW will be gone for WW 2 ....I cannot imagine they will continue searching forever
None of your expenses
How could you find a body that has been under water for 70+ years. It's dissolved
With the bones is okay
If the water is at extremely cold temperatures then the body wouldn’t dissolve it would just form a soapy and waxy layer around it made out of the body fat. Gross but true.
@@isabellapabon9097 Ohh okay
@@isabellapabon9097 And the fish and other animals?
@LiloVLOG some hatches are sealed
There’s no body in this case. They’re analyzing sediments. Gimme a break!
those guys need a bigger budget!
Wow, I pray the God blesses their hands in their recovery efforts, all in the Mighty Name of Jesus 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
They are not people anymore.
Its only bones and remains.
Maybe Mr. George Sores will help with a donation to this project.
Or Bill Gates,
Warren Buffett,
Michael Bloomberg,
Larry Ellison,
Mark Zuckerberg,
Jack Dorsey,
Sundar Pichai,
I’m sure they Honor
US Fallen Soldiers🇺🇸🗽
That POS helped with the killings of jews in nazi germany, he could give a rats ass about our military members.
There wouldn't be any remains because that was a long time ago
I agree with the ones who wrote it’s a war grave give the families
Closure and give them some of the money
Bring them home.....
Either he baled out, or the fish ate him.
The bodies of flyers who stay with their aircraft all the way down are sometime ejected on impact or as various parts of the hull break apart. Once free of the aircraft, they can be carried miles away by wind and current.
definently did not ate him.
Unless there was a wedding ring, engraved watch and dog tags or dentures theres been nothing left for 60 or 70 years.
Thats why they mentioned sifting the sediment for potential DNA
The water alone would dissolve the body . Then add the salt content , gone for sure . add fish , crabs, and any other thing would eat a body . If people believe there was still a person to be found in a open cockpit after 60 yrs submerged , those are the same people that wear a mask in thier cars alone with thier windows rolled up because of covid.
Shouldn’t be anything left
Is this John McGrath?
click bait
un brave vas pouvoir rentré chez lui que dieux le bénis et merci d avoir combatut pour ma liberté repose en paix amen
How many people are left grieving today? Surely 150 million could be spent to help people that are struggling to survive...
OK. Recover them and give them a decent burial, I can see that. The costs seem way too high though.
Incidentally, which of the two P47D shown had the remains in?. One was a bubble canopy and the other a razorback. Plus the bubble canopy one was only a forward fuselage and center section, the razorback substantially complete considering.
"The costs seem way too high though"
Not as high as the price those men paid, don't you think?
@@MarsFKA I totally agree with you. My referring to the high cost was taken from a logistics point of view. Yes, those men paid the ultimate price, they should be repatriated and have a decent burial for sure. But the budget seem to be much higher than it should be for what is involved. That is all I meant. I know that sometimes it is impossible to bring these heroes home. My great uncle Dryden, killed in Italy WW2. stepped on what was believed to have been an anti tank mine. It went off and all that was found was a small part of one boot. Would it have been worthwhile to hold a funeral for a piece of uniform? I am not too sure but if it were to give a family closure then probably so.
@@crazybrit-nasafan My father was a tank commander in the 18th Battalion, Armoured Regiment, New Zealand Division in the Italian campaign.
He said they lost a Sherman and its crew at Casino. The tank brewed up and every round of ammunition inside it exploded - the hatches looked like volcanoes. It was weeks before they could get to the tank - it was on ground exposed to enemy fire - and then they did, all they found of the crew were a few bone fragments.
They thought it worthwhile giving those few fragments a proper funeral for all five men.
If you haven't served then do not question the motives, or policies, of those who seek to bring home servicemen and women who died doing their duty.
@@MarsFKA I think you misunderstood me. I am in no way questioning the whys and motivates at all. These Men and Women SHOULD be returned home. Regardless of costs, difficulty and all other considerations. I have the deepest respects for all who have served. And I apologise for the misunderstanding if I did not make myself clear.
@@MarsFKA Getting near to a million dollars to recover each body. It would be better to give the money out right to family members, some might really need it, or they could take a trip to the area of the final resting place to lay a wreath, say some prayers or toward a memorial. Thousands of men were buried ceremonially at sea or while killed in the line of duty 75 years ago. They should let the fallen be where they lay. Is New Zealand doing anything to repatriate soldier remains from 75 or 105 years ago? There are thousands of marked Zealander graves in Europe, would you like to see those men brought home? I would think that to be the first step, and more worthwhile, in bringing home the fallen than searching for 70 year old DNA in sediment.
Very cool............................ 👍
BRING THEM BACK HOME!
1944, Sorry, but even bone would dissolve by now. maybe dogtags or such
have u heard of bones?
P-47
$154 million for dead people.....0$ for those who are alive. That makes sense. I know these are WWII heroes, but when I let that sink in I guess live humans have no value. At least today they don't. I hope they're all given a proper burial.
It doesn't make sense, trying to retrieve these sparse remains. Why not just leave a wreath or whatever, instead?
It’s a war grave - leave it....
What a waste of money.
During war, hundreds of bodies of U.S. Navymen were ceremoniusly dumped INTO the ocean, yet they're going to spend countless amounts of hours and money to possibly 'retrieve' the remains of a single body FROM the sea after over 50 years? Wth?
Thousands. That's what I thought too, they are all buried at sea. Let them be.
But this pilot is unknown that’s why they’re retrieving him, and the bodies that are interned at sea by the navy are accounted for.
@@rawdice44ify After 75 years there is no longer a body only a plane with markings, they can tell who piloted it from that.
@@bobkozalov8821 like I know go ask the that diver. Smdh
@@rawdice44ify Do those interned at sea get a headstone somewhere? Been wondering and asking for years but no answer.
154 Million dollars coiuld feed a lot of people or even be used against terrorism
The USA is the

@@iammaximus614 So many of the Americans that are MIA were drafted, like that is supposed to be a free country and society? Afraid not.

No one was made to rest in the sea
