A US Air Force B-52 bomber spotted a canoe lost in the Pacific after being told to look for a boat like the one in the Disney movie 'Moana'
A US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress crew from the 20th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, stationed at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, and deployed to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, are being hailed as heroes. The B-52H located the lost crew of an open-ocean Polynesian-style canoe after they were missing at sea for six days.
The traditional Pacific Island-style canoe carrying six paddlers had become lost after sailing from nearby Piagailoe Atoll on June 19. The journey from the atoll to Guam was only supposed to take one day — meaning the paddlers, who had minimal supplies, had been missing at sea for nearly a week.
