Walid Noshie and Sverker Hallstrom have
discovered the whereabouts of the C46 Curtiss LIA Airplane that crashed
and reported missing on October 3, 1957 after taking off from the
International Lebanese airport.
The search took 5 years. The C 46 was
found on the sea bed at a depth of 1400 Meters.
27 people died
on board. It was reported that the aircraft was transporting 15
cases of gold weighing between 230 and 440 Kg.
Salvage will be immediately underway and
will be under the supervision of the Lebanese ministry of Transport.
This is a very complex operation due to
the depth where the plane was found. The team has procured all the
necessary equipment to guarantee the success and efficiency of this
operation.
During the
search for the airplane wreck, a Roman Ship was discovered at a
depth of 300 Meters.
Noshie and Hallstrom may conduct and execute the salvage of the
roman wreck. The date will be declared by the ministry of
transport once the salvage of the airplane wreck is concluded.
