A DC-3 Crashes In Antarctica. A Team Rebuilt The Plane In The Harshest Conditions On Earth

This DC-3 (BT-67), a turboprop DC-3 nicknamed Lidia, crashed in 2012.  All the passengers escaped without injury.  However, the aircraft didn't fare as well.

@jegga Not sure about calling me an "avgeek" there, but that is pretty cool (actually fucking freezing). All those people for 40 odd days to save an old aeroplane - serious dedication. I love Daks, never been in a turbine one but would have to be good.

@Snowy It would also be very very noisey I suspect, if you haven't read this try and get a copy.

Fuck I'm loving the look of this movie. Let's hope Luc Besson keeps this one on the awesome path it seems to have taken:

@NTA was trying to figure out where I knew the "kid" from. He was in Spiderman and he's actually 31, I was thinking more like late teens.

@taniwharugby I just saw the dumbest response to this on facebook.
"Impressive, but let's not forget a life was lost..." Clearly he hadn't real that PR post from a kiwi bloke fighting isis over there.

[taniwharugby]

@Rembrandt I have to try really hard not to read or bite to stuff on FB, otherwise you get sucked into the vortex of stupidity.

[Rembrandt]

@taniwharugby Ha not me! To be fair his response is most likely just severely misguided, I've posted the PR account in response and asked if that changed his view at all, might do nothingbut then again it might just change his opinion on things.
