She was found in the grave in 1991, but the commission’s findings are not universally accepted.
Two skeletons were found in the Tower 1674 and identified as theirs.
Huh… I’ve looked around, and I haven’t found anything about it. I don’t know how I got that idea, but it’s apparently not true. Thanks for setting me straight, Governor.
I’m aware of that-that’s why I pointed out that they aren’t sure who all is there. There are TWO bodies missing-one was Anastasia’s little brother, Alexei. The other missing body is either that of Anastasia herself, or her sister, Grand Duchess Maria.
Close Encounters aside, 5 of the same model plane (avenger bombers) have been found in roughly the correct area of where flight 19 could have been. It turns out that the found planes were not Flt. 19, based on tail fin ID number, just another flight that had crashed. Doesn’t speak well to the quality of the plane.
Here’s a staff report on that one.
Big Pussy Bonpensiero
:eek:
Eddie Aikau. He was part of a traditional canoe trip trying to paddle from Hawaii to Tahiti. The canoe capsized and Eddie attempted to paddle to Lanai on his surfboard to get help. The rest of the crew was eventually rescued but Eddie was never seen again.
He is legendary in Hawaii, especially on the North Shore, and is the inspiration for the saying “Eddie would go” used when facing a particularly difficult decision.
I’ll do a bit of web-looking, but I’m pretty darn sure that didn’t happen. I read almost no end of baseball books as a kid, and I’ve never even heard of a story about that. It would rank as one of the weirdest and creepiest baseball stories ever, and would have been in bunches of the books I checked out of libraries.
Even googling st. louis browns bermuda triangle doesn’t seem to turn up any pages telling that story. Is is possible a minor league club had a crash, and you’re remembering it wrong? I haven’t heard that story either, though…
Since this is GQ, Cardinal, I feel obliged to point out you have been whooshed. (With that name, shouldn’t you be knowledgable about St. Louis baseball teams?) The Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles in 1954, which is what Chance the Gardener’s post was joking about.
Che Guevara didn’t actually disappear; it was pretty clear he had been killed by the Bolivian army in 1967. It was his body that wasn’t found until 1997.
Not to mention Al Stewart singing about it!
Well, wikipedia has a section pn disappeared people, to reference or add to.
As a trivia note, there’s speculation that Michael Rockefeller might have been eaten by cannibals. (Probably just drowned, though. Spoilsport.)
Oh, and they found Bormann. DNA evidence and, as I remember, dental evidence proves it.
Certainly 2nd tier world famous at the time. the highest ranking Nazi still at large today (whose subordinate Adolf Eichmann disappeared himself 1945-1960) Heinrich Mueller, the head of the Gestapo, has not been heard from since the day after Hitler’s suicide.
The Twelfth Imam of the Shi‘ah, Muhammad al-Mahdi, was last seen in the year 872 as he walked down the stairs into a cellar in Samarra’, Iraq. He was 4 years old. His father had just been assassinated. His disappearance was called al-ghaybah al-sughra (the lesser occultation). For the next 67 years, he communicated with his faithful followers through a series of spokesmen. But in 939, when the last spokesman died, he was not replaced. Thereupon the 12th Imam entered al-ghaybah al-kubra (the greater occulation), during which he has neither been seen nor heard from until the present day. They’re still waiting for him to reappear.
This is perhaps the most famous disappearance in world history, and probably the disappearance that has had the biggest political and theological repercussions down through the ages.
The planes found weren’t from the same flight. There was a documentary on this subject on UK TV the other night. Amazingly, they’re five independent crashes over a period of a few years from '43 onwards.
Found … but something tells me you already knew that.
In a three yearv voyage, 1895 to 1898, Capt. Joshua Slocum became the first man to sail a solo circumnavigation in his sloop Spray. His story was serialized in Century magazine and his book Sailing Alone Around the World is still read by sailors today.
In 1909, Slocum set sail in the Spray and was never heard from again.
The Browns are a waste of time (to me). I did of course know they moved, and maybe could have come up with the move to Baltimore, but their move was unlamented. They only managed a pennant during WWII when the rest of the league was shipping off players to the military.
Eh.
