Fifty years after the crash of the F-28 passenger plane named "Bursa," belonging to Turkish Airlines, which fell into the Sea of Marmara, an important development has occurred. YouTuber Nedim Kuru and his team captured images of parts believed to belong to the wreckage of the plane during their dive with an underwater drone.
The mystery surrounding THY's passenger plane named 'Bursa', which fell into the Sea of Marmara and has not been located for 50 years, is being unveiled. YouTuber Nedim Kuru and his team captured images of parts believed to belong to the wreckage of the plane during their dive with an underwater drone.
42 PEOPLE HAD LOST THEIR LIVES
The plane, which crashed into the sea while descending on its İzmir-Istanbul flight on January 30, 1975, became the grave of a total of 42 people, including 41 passengers and a hostess's child. Due to the technological limitations of that time, the wreckage could not be reached.
NEW CLUES WITH UNDERWATER DRONE
YouTuber Nedim Kuru recently dived into the depths of the Sea of Marmara to capture the location where the plane is said to have fallen. The team identified parts spread over a wide area that are thought to belong to the plane during the dive.
Kuru stated, "When we dove, we encountered a large, folded aluminum piece. We believe it likely belongs to the plane; however, it wouldn't be right to say for sure without retrieving it."
"42 PEOPLE ARE STILL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA"
Highlighting the dramatic scale of the accident, Kuru emphasized that the wreckage and the passengers have been at the bottom of the sea for 50 years, saying, "A total of 42 people are waiting under the Sea of Marmara. The wreckage has still not been retrieved."
RELATIVES OF FAMOUS NAMES WERE ALSO ON THE PLANE
Kuru reminded that among those who lost their lives in the accident were relatives of famous individuals. Fatih Terim's father-in-law Kamuran Aksu and singer Seyyal Taner's sister, who was a hostess, were also on the plane.
"WE NOW KNOW THE LOCATION OF THE WRECKAGE"
Kuru stated that their research is significant for solving the accident, saying, "In 1975, the lack of technology prevented access to the wreckage. However, we believe the parts we found belong to the plane. We now know its location."
CALL TO AUTHORITIES: OFFICIALLY CONFIRM IT
Kuru mentioned that they are preparing for a second dive in the area and called for the wreckage to be verified by official authorities and retrieved from the sea. He also expressed that a memorial tomb should be built for the passengers in Yeşilköy.
