If you're taking highway 5 from Mexicali to San Felipe, surely you will notice the wreckage of this Boeing 727 sitting just off of the highway. This is quite an interesting plane wreck, because it was intentionally crashed in the Mexico desert by a group of media companies and scientists, to study the effects of a jetliner crash. Funny enough, the plane its self has a pretty fun history, as it was Bob Dole's presidential campaign jet. The experiment took place in Mexico, because the USA Government wouldn't allow it to happen on American soil, but a complete clean up of the crash was done, and the location brought back to original condition.
Where the plane sits now is all fenced off, but locals have cut the fence to gain access, and a select few now call it home. When I arrived I thought I would have to film with the drone, but 40 pesos bought me access into the gate for a closer look. The inside of the aircraft has very much become home to some down on luck residents, so I didn't go inside the plane, but I got to get right up close for a good look and some good shots. I am really happy I had the time to stop and check this spot out, and share it with all of you.
If you want to see more of this story, the complete documentary is on YouTube, and the crash was featured on a Discovery Channel show called Curiosities.
