Mount Carmel PA $250,000 Cash Missing From a 1948 Airliner Crash
Obtained from the History of Mount Carmel Pennsylvania website:On June 17, 1948 a four-engine United Air Lines DC-6 crashes on a sparsely wooded hillside three miles northeast of town, killing all 43 aboard. Missing Midvalley Colliery No. 2 by only 100 yards, the airliner hit a high-tension power line and burst into flame. All but one of Mount Carmel's fire engines were attending a fire convention and parade in Sunbury, 30 miles away. One report says that the plane was carrying $250,000, and that prior to the crash, a passenger threw the money out the plane. So if you live in that area it might be worth a look. If you have any more information on this treasure please let me know. Not sure what condition the money would be in, but the US government will exchange old damaged money for new currency.
