BONUS EPISODE: Airliner Ditches in the Gulf of Alaska on October 22, 1962
On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present complete audio from Episode Five of "Unsolved Histories: What Happened to Flight 293?," an Edward R. Murrow Award-winning podcast researched, produced and hosted by Feliks Banel in 2024 for KSL Podcasts. The focus is Northwest Airlines Flight 293, a military charter carrying 102 active duty service members, family members and civilian passengers and crew from McChord Air Force Base near Tacoma, Washington to Elmendorf Air Force Base near Anchorage, Alaska. On October 22, 1962, the DC-7C airliner ran into engine problems, and the pilot successfully ditched in the waters off Biorka Island, Alaska. For this episode, Feliks Banel spoke with passenger Richard Pouliot, who recounts his experiences aboard the doomed plane and the rescue that followed the ditching; Mr. Pouliot passed away in 2024 at age 90. This Flight 293 is not to be confused with the nearly identical Flight 293 of June 3, 1963 which crashed into the Gulf of Alaska with no distress call, and no survivors (that other flight is explored in the rest of the UNSOLVED HISTORIES podcast). This BONUS EPISODE is presented by special arrangement with KSL Podcasts.
