Remains of US Pilot from WWII Found at the Bottom of Pacific Ocean
More than 70 years ago, during World War II, a U.S. pilot was shot down as he was flying over the Pacific. Over the decades, sand and sea life at the bottom of the ocean covered the wreckage, further obscuring it from view.
But now, members of the U.S. armed forces have retrieved the remains of the pilot, as well as his plane, which were found near Ngerekebesang Island, in the Republic of Palau.
