World 2 jets collide after landing in Frankfurt, no one injured

This Grumman Albatross crashed on a beach about 44 miles (70 km) south of Puerto Escondido, Mexico. The locals told Eckell that the plane was used by drug traffickers.

Eckell discovered the wreck in 2010, six years after the crash. The imminent storm gave him precisely the backdrop he wanted.

Caught in a downdraft, this C-47 crashed into the mountainside. The Yukon winters can see temperatures drop past -22 degrees Fahrenheit (-30 degrees Celsius), yet the crew survived. The pilot made it down to a nearby highway to get help rescuing the other nine survivors.

Two engines of this restored plane suddenly failed, sending it down to the desert sand. Surviving this crash in such an inhospitable environment was an astonishing feat for the 19 passengers and crew.

Eckell's journey to this isolated spot included an ore freight train and the help of the local rebels to make the long drive out to the desert area where the Shackleton sits.

This US Navy transport plane crashed after encountering severe weather conditions and icing near Vik, Iceland. All 7 passengers and crew members made it to safety.

The desolate landscape and black basalt sand makes this area popular with photographers and filmmakers. During the summer, there are 24 hours of daylight. Eckell took this shot at midnight.

In January, the Alaskan tundra sees temperatures drop to -49 Fahrenheit (-45 degrees Celsius). The three passengers from this crash - caused when both engines iced over and lost power- survived by building a huge fire from the surrounding pines, which proved their salvation when a spotter plane saw its glow 3 days later.

This Bristol Type 170 broke through the frozen lake on landing, fracturing the wing, and has been there ever since. Eckell tracked it down with the GPS coordinates and persuaded a local Cessna pilot to fly him out to it.

The abandoned plane rots away near an abandoned uranium mine. There's nothing else nearby for miles.

This Curtiss Commando made a heroic emergency landing in the hills of Manitoba, Canada. All 3 people aboard survived. The Commando was often used as transport aircraft in World War II; command crews nicknamed the C-46 the "flying coffin."

Wanderers eclipse last season's W-League tally with Jets win

The Western Sydney Wanderers were utterly dominant but had to rely on a dubious penalty to get past the Newcastle Jets on Friday night.With a full-strength team on deck for the first time, the new-look Wanderers, who needed a late winner to beat Adelaide  2-1 in the opening round,  made light work of the Jets.  They completely dominated a match that had to be be paused for 30 minutes during the first half as heavy storms lashed Bankwest Stadium.

Two New Jersey Transit buses collided in Newark during the early morning commute on Friday, killing one driver and a passenger and injuring at least 17 other people, the authorities said. The crash occurred at Broad Street and Raymond Boulevard at about 6 a.m

Two jetliners collided at a Toronto airport Friday, setting a wing on fire and sending dozens of terrified passengers fleeing into the cold. A Boeing 737 landed at Pearson International Airport shortly after sundown, ferrying 168 WestJet passengers from Cancun, Mexico.

Eckell explains that although this wreck is relatively easy to hike to, it involves an extra threat: It's in polar bear country.

The details on this wreck are sketchy and its position in the swamp makes it hard to reach at any time except deep winter.

This Curtiss Commando developed engine trouble and crashed in the forest while trying to return to base.

The wreck took some finding, first by spotting from a light aircraft and then a trek through the thick Manitoba forest. Eckell highlights the striking juxtaposition of the natural surroundings and the plane.

This underwater wreck is not listed by the Aviation Safety Network. Local diving school operators helped Eckell to find the small fighter plane and told him the pilot escaped.

Strong and erratic currents made this a challenging shoot, but it is possible to actually sit in the wreck's cockpit. Eckell recommends you check to see if the resident moray eel is at home before try it.

Sunday no one was hurt after one of its jets collided with an Air Namibia plane while it was waiting to move on the taxiway after landing at Frankfurt Korean Air said no passengers were injured as the Air Namibia jet was "moving at low speed on the ground." The accident caused a 21-hour delay in

No one was injured , but hundreds of passengers onboard one jet were stranded and left in search of a new flight. The planes sustained damage — one “I can’t recall the last time we had planes collide .” Last month, two commercial aircraft were damaged at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport

An explosion in one engine forced the pilot to make an emergency landing on a sand bar on the Koyukuk River.

With only a verbal description of the wreck's location and no GPS, it took a boat trip and some perseverance to finally track it down.

This Cessna T-50, also known as the "Bamboo Bomber," crash-landed in Alaska after it ran out of fuel.

After a 932-mile (1,500 km) drive through South Australia, Eckell captured this stunning "red planet" shot with an octocopter.

This massive B-24 bomber crash-landed in Papua New Guinea swamp. The locals call the wreck "Swamp Ghost." A long trek and a less than pleasant encounter with giant ants didn't stop Eckell from getting the shot he wanted. He later compared the experience to time travel, as he journeyed through such isolated terrain.

The Douglas Skytrooper was forced to land after the pilot missed the airport and ran out of fuel. This cluttered transport wreck is the last shoot - to date - of the Happy End project.

Eckell quit his job in 2010 to pursue his passion for photography. Apart from plane wrecks, Eckell has also covered abandoned cars, Olympic sites and World War relics.
