Argentina brings back 'death flight' plane for historical accountability.

A plane used by Argentina's junta to throw political detainees to their deaths from the sky has been returned to Buenos Aires and will be added to the Museum of Memory, which is in what was the junta's most infamous secret detention center. The plane is the first ever proven in a court to have been used for the "death flights," one of the dictatorship's most cold-blooded atrocities. Human rights groups estimate 30,000 were slain, many of whom disappeared without a trace. The return of the plane will help Argentines understand the reality of the dictatorship.

Argentina brings back 'death flight' plane for historical accountability.

A plane used by Argentina's junta to throw political detainees to their deaths from the sky has been returned to Buenos Aires and will be added to the Museum of Memory, which is in what was the junta's most infamous secret detention center. The plane is the first ever proven in a court to have been used for the "death flights" and was used to kill Azucena Villaflor and 11 other detainees. The return of the plane was enabled by Italian photographer Giancarlo Ceraudo, who spent years seeking out "death flight" planes.
