"FATAL CROSSING THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF NWA FLIGHT 5301"
Presented by Valerie van Heest
On June 23, 1950, Northwest Airlines Flight 2501, a DC-4 with souls on board, disappeared over Lake Michigan. The wreck was never located and the cause of the accident was never determined. Then, over a half century later, nationally acclaimed author and explorer Clive Cussler of the National Underwater Marine Agency teamed up with Valerie van Heest of the Michigan Shipwreck Research Assoc. to attempt to find the submerged wreck and solve the mystery of the plane's disappearance. Van Heest will share how an unexpected meeting with a victim's son prompted a search of a different kind, one that would reveal that the answers are sometimes found in unexpected places.
