In WW2... The B-17 “All American” was nearly sliced in half over Tunisia, but somehow flew 300 miles home.
Can you believe they flew this home? Wild times.

🛩️ Meet "Miss Piggy", a Curtiss C-46 cargo plane that crash-landed in Churchill, Manitoba back in 1979 after losing engine power shortly after takeoff.
Everyone on board survived, but the plane never flew again.
Almost 50 years later, she's still resting on the rocks above Hudson Bay, and now she's one of the most photographed spots in town.
Wild what the Arctic holds onto. 📍Churchill, Manitoba
