Narrative:The municipal Veterinarian flew on a mission to aid a birth. The airplane crashed into Bøyabreen, most likely due to whiteout. The pilot was fatally injured, and was transported by helicopter, but the wreckage was never recovered, and eventually it was swallowed by the glacier. Parts of the wreckage were found in September 2021 by tourists. The wreckage is no longer intact due to the pressure of the ice.
