The Superfortress crash site on Bleaklow Derbyshire.

[llandudnoboy]

I am really surprised that so much debris still exists for this tradgic accident.

I live in Llandudno in North Wales overlooking the mighty Carneddau Mountains seven of which are above 3000ft in height.

On record there have been over fourty WW2 and later aircraft crashes but vertually all the debris has been removed.

I wonder if anyone could tell me why so much of this American aircraft still remains on this hillside.

Why didn't they clean up the crash site?

[Mr912Lancer]

I live in derbyshire and never knew of this..

[derbyshirebob]

To 1tmoorepford. Thank you very much for sharing your information on this rememberance day. I visited the site two weeks ago on a very windy and cold day. There are many crash sites in the Peak District National Park. There is a link to my website on my YouTube home page that includes many photos including the B29 Superfortress.

My Father, Ssgt. David Devere Moore, died aboard this plane 62 years ago today. He was 29 years old. Most of the crew men were WW 2 vets. My Brother , Tom Moore was born on this date, in 1947. He was 1 year old on the day of the crash. David D. Moore is buried in Arlington National Cemetary in Washington, D.C. He is buried in section 12, about 200 yards down hill from President Kennedy. You may contact me at tmoore77@cox.net .

....so I can't see why "Aliens" would hang around an old plane wreck. I can understand why our people would want to reverse-engineer a flying saucer...but I'd doubt that aliens would find the need to reverse-engineer a B29 Superfortress! :-)

[mmotorway]

Excellent video Bob.

[derbyshirebob]

Thanks for your comment on my video

[sharonpaul111]

I visited this site last weekend. A bit of a trek to get to but well worth it. It's the first crash site I've been to and I found it a little erie being there on my own.

Well worth the effort and I'm looking at going back up there after parading on Rememberance Sunday.

[GerbilEssences]

I always wanted to visit this but it is well off the beaten path. Some impressive large pieces remain. Good video!

[UpTheShakers]

There's a lot of rubbish written about air crash sites, this one in particular. But kurutze takes the biscuit. For the record, this B29 did serve in the Pacific, it was a photo recon aircraft, hence the name 'Over Exposed'. The photos of the first nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll were taken from this aircraft. Over Exposed also took part in the Berlin Airlift.

I saw the abominable snowman when I viewed this......

[orriblebob]

Was this the site where someone took some pictures of their kids and when they were developed there were some people in silver suits in the background that were said to be Aliens?

[derbyshirebob]

I've not heard that one before but there have been similar incidents of people taking photos in the mist and finding strange things in the background when developed.

[terryjohn]

what of the one with the skull on photo in mid 70's of anson crash site

i've heard this but never seen it.

tj

[terryjohn]

[retnuh777]

no no no

[mmotorway]

@orriblebob It's possible that you're getting your "Urban Legends" mixed up here. The South Pennines (particularly round Longdendale through to Todmorden) is considered a British UFO "hotspot".....And there's the famous Peak District ghost plane, not to mention ghost sightings of airmen around the various crash sites on the Peak District....

[kurutze]

But this weapon was expressly designed to kill innocent people, not to engage in battle again combatant enemy, and we all know it.

[kurutze]

I wonder how many innocent Japanese civilians were slaughtered by the crew of this B29.

[derbyshirebob]

War is a tragedy for everybody. Even today many innocent people are being killed around the world.

[johncliffe39]

Kurutze, for your information this B-29 was never deployed to the pacific theatre, I suggest you get your facts right before putting comments like that here.

[edwardwhite70]

So, what was the Enola Gay then? They had B-29's like crazy out in the Pacific.

[johncliffe39]

How many Americans were killed on Dec 7th 1941 at Pearl Harbor ?????

[palapescada]

@johncliffe39 more than 2400 Americans were killed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. 1,177 of these were on the USS Arizona. God rest their souls.

[1gunfighter1]

Are you retarded? My uncle was killed aboard a B-29 in the last weeks of the war!

[terryjohn]

yes when luftwaffe do this they call it murder. makes you think usa can do anything .not anybody eles.

tj

[TheBeez500]

Nowhere near as many of the millions of Chinese / Asian / Commonwealth civilians murdered by the Japanese.

[kyberforce]

@kurutze i wonder who cares

[jerywilliams]

@kurutze Your comment was voted down, because people don't want to admit to the less glorious side of war. they like to think that everything was done for the freedom of the innocent when in actuallity just as many innocent people are killed as the enemy. We can not always glorify the soilder without remembering the tragic events that also took place that should'nt have.
