Aircraft
The accident aircraft was a Douglas DC-3, registration CC-CLDP. It had been manufactured in 1943 as a military Douglas C-47A, manufacturer's serial number 9716. At the time of the accident, it had accumulated 18,300 hours.[1]
Accident
The Douglas DC-3 airliner was one of two aircraft used to transport the football team home after an away game.[2] It was on a domestic flight from Castro to Santiago when it disappeared in the Andes. The last radio message reported ice covering the wings and propellers.[3]
The tail of the aircraft and a few human remains were found on 10 April 1961. Some official accounts indicate the wreckage was located on La Gotera Hill in the Lastima-Pejerreymin Range; all on board had been assumed killed.[1][4] Other contemporary accounts identify the crash site as Cerro Lastimas.[5]
In February 2015 the aircraft's fuselage was discovered after more than 50 years in the Chilean Andes. A member of the expedition that found the wreckage was quoted as saying "So this story is getting a rewrite since this is not where original accounts said."[2][6] While the climbers declined to provide a detailed position of their find, it is consistent with the terrain and altitude of Cerro Lastimas.
