TODAY IN HISTORY - SEPTEMBER 11, 1963
THE PLANE TRAGEDY
On September 11, 1963, a company plane bearing Shaner, the personnel manager, Roman Pacia, the pilot, Jose Salandanan, a security officer, Capt. Amadeo de Castro, and P75,000 in payroll money, crashed in a mountain in Zambales. This set off an epic 44-day search and rescue operation personally led by Acoje President Cabarrus. By dint of courage and stamina, Shaner and Pacia survived.

I was 6 years old at the time, my Dad went with the search party, I remember I was at Camp Condrado Yap with my Mom together with my Aunt( Capt.De Castro's wife) to receive the body, they load it on a military "6X6" truck. there were a lot of crying and wailing, the scene was etched in my memory.
