Explorers have reported locating the wreckage of a Pan Am passenger plane in the ocean off the coast of Puerto Rico, more than 70 years after it disappeared following a crash. Multiple outlets report that the search used an autonomous sonar drone to identify parts of the aircraft on the seafloor. The reported findings include the plane’s fuselage and tail section. The discovery follows decades of interest in the incident, which involved the aircraft going missing and leaving the wreckage unconfirmed for many years. One account places the timeline at 74 years since the crash, while other reports describe the interval as more than 70 years. Sources agree on the location near Puerto Rico and on the use of autonomous sonar technology to detect the aircraft components. The reports do not describe additional details in the provided excerpts, such as the precise coordinates, the condition of the wreckage, or any recovery plans, focusing instead on the identification of the aircraft’s major sections.
