Sherman set the way back machine...........

For those of you old enough to remember there was a major story in Pittsburgh fifty years ago today. It was on January 31st, 1956 that that a B-25 bomber crashed into the Monongahela River and sank in full view of the public. Over the years this story has attained the status of an “X-File” because the aircraft supposedly was never found. There are a number of theories some of which include the possibility that the plane was carrying atomic weapons and was spirited away in the middle of the night. The fact remains that to this day no one has every found the remains of the airplane even though at best we are talking about water only twenty feet in depth in the river. One of the great Pittsburgh mysteries.
