Marking the moment...
After telling the story of the two airmen who perished this day in 1935, Chris dropped some roses in remembrance.
Macon debris field briefing
As part of the pre-flight briefing, Chris Grech of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) showed some sub-surface views of the Macon debris field and led a discussion regarding the history of the event and exploration of the site since it was re-discovered in 1991.
