Dr. Landon, according to this guy Jason Pasos.

Be skeptical. But that is a good talent for a scientific and inquisitive mind.

I think that watching "Dateline" sometimes. This wasn't startling, it just kept propelling the story forward. A total waste of a morning's excavation.

I did uncover it as being a Hoax. ^^^

is that right below the story is an article about how to tell science from pseudoscience.

Oh, the irony.

All of the pics in the plane story are stock photos. That's usually a pretty good tell.

Edit: it might have been inspired by this story from 2013:

finding out if the crew was rescued, and maybe giving some families closure would have been a good story.

Turning it into a stupid ghost story made it rather a bore.

What is the point? What kind of revenue can be gained?

because they find reality too confusing and painful. This article was for them.

Turns out it was a made up story. And it was I who fact checked it and discovered it was a Hoax. I gather for ad revenue.

Planes were lost in WWII and never located, especially in the far north.

Melting glaciers in Canada and Scandinavia have produced treasure troves of finds for archaeologists,

I'm not surprised this was a hoax, they skipped all sorts of information about the origin of the plane, when and under what conditions it went missing, and the status of the crew and launched right into that stupid ghost story. "Clang, clang, clang!" went my own BS detector. Even a partial number on fuselage or tail would have helped the verisimilitude a bit, but I guess they were too dumb to think of that.
