Season One of Unsolved Histories: What Happened to Flight 293? has inspired Congress to close a loophole that meant the Department of Defense turned its back on the families of hundreds of active-duty servicemembers missing after non-combat military plane crashes.
Highlighted moments
If you are missing in a training loss, after the initial search, there is no agency within our government that looks for you.
“When DPAA gets $200 million a year to look for MIA, that doesn't include us, and we want to be included.”
“It's not about searching, but it's about bringing equity to the families of missing not in action with those missing in action.”
“So my grandfather's plane is Korean conflict time. When you look at the Korean conflict numbers that's on DPAA's website, those numbers don't include the 52. We're not even tracked. There's no database.”
