The Unsolved Histories podcast team was pleased to get a phone call letting them know a U.S. senator not only listened to Season 1, but wanted to address a problem raised by their recounting of the tragic story of Flight 293. Military men and women who go missing, but not in action, are not remembered or memorialized and the families left without the support that is given to other MIA families. If passed, the Flight 293 Remembrance Act will change that. Host Feliks Banel researched this and other accidents involving service members who seemed to be forgotten by the government they served. Here’s a clip from episode one of Unsolved Histories: What Happened to Flight 293?   For more information, including pictures and all episodes, see our website, unsolvedhistoriespod.com Learn more about your ad choices.

listening to this case absolutely disgusts me, and what's worse is I know even after all these years, there are still people so ignorant they're willing to murder someone because of their skin color.

not a bad podcast share, but I don't think there could be a bigger host voice difference.

I'm from a small town South of SLC and moved to SLC in 83 just in time for this stuff to start happening and was in downtown the day he blew himself up. I remember all this stuff going on and constantly on TV. I knew from a young age the Mormon church was a load of BS and walked away from it. If your a member, look deep into the beginning history.
