Interesting find. Interesting location too. Not all that uncommom though. It mentions the wreckage having been buried though - you wonder as to what kind of crash it was. Without pictures one doesn't know...

That Associated Press report has been copied word for word complete with glaring mistakes on numerous websites around the world. Shame the BBC didn't bother to do a little research. I found this after a few minutes on Google.

The identity of the crew has been known for several years. From the Toronto Star. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1165014634555&call_pageid=968332188854&col=968350060724 [quote]Polish historians found the partial remains of some crew members

Mmm, nothing more than another excavation as such then. I suspect as the aircraft remains were buried (I suspect those that weren't underground in the impact would have been bulldozed into a pit), that much of the human victims remains would have been removed at the time of the crash...

This reminds me of a An12 of India Airforce which was lost in the Himalayas 15 - 18 years ago.Which was found a year or two back with some remains of the crew. As it was sub zero temp year around the remains were found.These  Airforce Guys must be great to risks and must be remembered for it like the guys in the Halifax.
