Note sull'episodio
Why do people, planes, and search teams keep disappearing in the Alaskan Triangle? We follow the lost C-54 military transport, the Hale Boggs and Nick Begich plane disappearance, Erin Marie Gilbert, Mount Marathon runner Michael LeMaitre, and George Smith Sr., whose remains were identified after 17 years.
We also break down the science behind the Alaska Triangle mystery, from sudden weather shifts and whiteouts to cold-water shock, glacier crevasses, failed emergency beacons, geomagnetic storms, and the long distances that can keep help out of reach.
