With today being the 50th anniversary of AA1 (crashed in Pumpkin Patch Channel in Jamaica Bay), it got me thinking. With all of the crashes around IDL/JFK in the 50s and 60s, are there still remnants of plane crashes at the bottom of Jamaica Bay? Did they make an effort to recover the aircraft for analysys back in the day like they do today?
When ALM flight 980 (DC-9 enroute from JFK to St. Maarten) ditched near St. Croix in 1970, the aircraft sank and no effort was made to recover. I wonder if anyone has attempted to photograph these wrecks?
