More on the Airman in the Glacier

A couple of weeks ago, I posted this about the body of a WW II era airman found in a glacier in the California Sierras. The LA Times this week had more about the shipment of the body to a DoD forensics lab in Hawaii for identification, and the known names of the crew of the 1942 aircrash. In those pre-DNA test days, the bodies recovered were so mangled that individuals couldn't be identified and all the remains were put in a common grave.

This picture of the excavation was taken from a series posted by a Fresno TV station who was allowed to send a crew to the glacier. Apparently there is a video as well.

Looks cold up there doesn't it?
