Wreckage of 1952 Pan Am crash found near Puerto Rico

Wreckage of 1952 Pan Am crash found near Puerto Rico

A long time ago, in 1952, a big passenger plane called the Pan Am 'Clipper Endeavor' crashed into the ocean near Puerto Rico.

Many people were on the plane, but sadly, most of them didn't survive.

Recently, after 74 years, some people found the wreckage of the plane deep under the ocean.

They used special tools like sonar and underwater drones to find it.

The plane was split into two parts, and they could see the plane's name and logo on it.

This discovery helps us remember what happened and also shows how important it is to have safety rules for flying.

The crash led to new rules, like telling passengers about safety equipment before the flight.
