Episode Details

After 74 years underwater, the wreckage of Pan Am’s Clipper Endeavor — the plane that crashed on Good Friday in 1952, killing 52 people — has been found. Lost after losing two engines shortly after takeoff from Puerto Rico, the aircraft sank 2,000 feet deep, and its fate remained a mystery until a seven-year search led by the Air/Sea Heritage Foundation and Deep Sea Vision, with Expedition Unknown’s help, pinpointed its location on June 2nd. The discovery, marked by the still-visible Pan Am logo, brings closure to a tragic chapter that catalyzed major aviation safety reforms — including mandatory pre-flight briefings and life vest instructions — saving countless lives since. Now, efforts are underway to protect the site and honor the victims, with plans for a memorial and an upcoming episode of Expedition Unknown to tell the full story.
