Shot Down

DL Cade spotlights an unusual photo series on airplane crashes:

For his project “Happy End,” German photographer Dietmar Eckell has travelled all over the world to find and photograph abandoned airplane wreckages with positive endings. That last part may seem like a paradox, but all of the 15 wreckages Eckell has shot actually do have happy endings: no one on board died, and they were all rescued from the remote locations where they crash landed.

He has started an IndieGogo campaign to publish a book on these “miracles in aviation history.”
