Plane travel can be routine, or it can be terrifying. For the latter, a bad plane experience can be a crash, which almost always means death.

Check out these pretty amazing stories through images. Via PetaPixel:

“For his project “Happy End,” German photographer Dietmar Eckell has travelled all over the world to find and photograph abandoned airplane wreckages with positive endings.

That last part may seem like a paradox, but all of the 15 wreckages Eckell has shot actually do have happy endings: no one on board died, and they were all rescued from the remote locations where they crash landed.”
