    The U.S. Forest Service’s Deadliest Aviation Disaster: Nez Perce National Forest

    31/08/2026 | 1h 11 mins.
    In June 1979, a group of U.S. Forest Service employees and volunteers
    boarded a routine flight into the remote Idaho backcountry to begin
    another summer season at the Moose Creek Ranger District. They never
    arrived. When both engines of their DC-3 failed over the narrow Selway
    River canyon, the pilots fought to keep the powerless aircraft in the
    air as the passengers prepared for the worst. What followed was a
    remarkable story of survival, an enormous wilderness rescue effort, and
    an investigation that uncovered the failures behind the deadliest
    aviation disaster in U.S. Forest Service history.
