| Summary: | Scadta was a Pan Am subsidiary. It was operating a domestic flight, which crashed in the Colombian jungle, which was called "Green Hell." Five Goigira Indians, who were canoeing up the Uribe River, found pieces of clothing, and then dead bodies of five people from the crash, and the wreckage of the aircraft. They also found a man who was alive, but dazed, exhausted, half crazy and unable to speak. They carried him for seven days through the jungle to civilization. He later recovered, and his name was Newton C. Marshall, General Manager of South American Gold & Platinum Company. He was the only survivor. |
