Story of the Top Gear Plane wreck

[langy]

I was curious about the C-47 plane wreck in the Top gear episode. Google 316062, which is the tail number, and this pops up

Old Wings - Isachsen C-47 Crash (http://www.oldwings.nl/content/c47_yic/c47.htm)

Oh wow, what a read. It's all happened so quickly, and I'd be surprised if they didn't have a bad feeling before they took off. Luck they all lived to tell the tale.
