On October 19, 1964, a Piper Apache twin-engine light aircraft crashed and disappeared into the waters of Lake Colhué Huapi in Argentina. All four people on board—the pilot and three passengers—perished in the accident, and their bodies were recovered shortly afterward. Despite search efforts, the aircraft’s fuselage was never found. In April 2016, after significant natural evaporation dried up part of the lake, a local resident spotted an airplane wing protruding from the lake bed, leading to the discovery of the wreckage.
