In 1973 a U.S. Navy Douglas Super DC-3 plane ran out of fuel and crashed on the black beach at Sólheimasandur, on the South coast of Iceland. Fortunately, everyone on that plane survived the crash. Later investigation revealed that the pilot had simply switched over to the wrong fuel tank. The wreck has remained on the sand for more than 40 years and has become somewhat of a local tourist attraction, especially for photographers.
