Summary

[edit]
Description

Photograph of a wheel of the Star Dust airliner (G-AGWH) found in 2000 among its wreckage by an Argentinian army search team. The tire is intact and inflated, despite the crash that completely destroyed the aircraft and the snow and ice that buried it for over 50 years.

Source

Screen shot from TV program, "Stardust Lost in the Andes". Vanishings!. 27 September 2003. History International.

Article

1947 BSAA Avro Lancastrian Star Dust accident

Portion used

Entire image; necessary to illustrate that the tire was intact.

Low resolution?

Yes (reduced 60% from the original digital screen shot).

Purpose of use

To illustrate the wreckage of the Star Dust aircraft and the unexpectedly good condition of this wheel despite the violence of the accident.

Replaceable?

Very unlikely. Could only be replaced by another (presumably also non-free) photograph taken at the same time and place. The wreckage was not discovered until 1998, so no older photos with expired copyright can possibly exist. The wheel was presumably removed from the mountain by the search team, so no new photo of this same object in the same location can ever be taken in the future. A free photograph might exist (or this photo might possibly be free despite being included in a copyrighted TV program), if Argentinian law deems photos taken by an army search team to be in the public domain, or if a suitable Argentinian military official could be found who was authorized and willing to release an original copy of this photograph under a suitable licence.

Other information

TV program was recorded from a 2011 cable broadcast using a TiVo digital video recorder, then transferred to a computer and converted into MPEG format; the specific frame was then isolated, extracted as a screen shot, and reduced in size using GIMP.
