Here is an interesting story. The Eastern 727-225 came down on approach to La Paz ,Bolivia. No bodies (19 PAX and 10 crew)  Flight or Voice recorders were ever found . 2016 Two Americans read about the crash and wanted to go and look there for themselves. Not going to be easy ,it's up on top of a 20,000 foot mountain .

That's rather poignant. So recent too, relatively speaking. It wouldn't happen these days. The people on board that aircraft could never imagine their fate as they boarded an ordinary flight on an ordinary day. To disappear almost in plain sight is remarkable. 

They deserve better. Time for an official expedition.
