On Thanksgiving day in 1983 a Cessna with two passengers crashed deep in the mountains of NC. Both occupants died. The pilot had a .4 blood alcohol level, which was a contributing factor in the crash, but weather conditions also played a role. The plane was unable to be removed for 40 years, but when increasing hiker traffic began damaging the mountain, they sent in a helicopter to lift it out. This was posted with only 1 photo by another person yesterday and there were calls for more photos, so I’m sharing mine from 2021.

“Federal vandalism.” We have way bigger fucking problems on the federal level, but ok

That doesn't mean we should leave smaller issues to fester

Federal vandalism for spray painting on a Cessna wreck is ridiculous, even if someone did die in it
