The disappearance of the ill-fated Pan Am Flight 7 continues to intrigue people around the world. In November 1957, Flight 7 crashed en route to Honolulu, killing all on board. While bodies and debris were later found, the cause of the airplane crash was never determined.
The flight was a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser - a popular long-range airliner at the time. Not all Pan Am's Stratocriuser crashes ended in tragedy. Once Pan Am pulled of a fatality-free ditching with a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser.
