The C-53 Crash on the Gauli Glacier in the Bernese Alps, (Switzerland) on 19 November 1946 was a turning point in alpine rescue and an international media event. The aircraft, coming from Tulln, Austria (near Vienna), bound for Pisa, Italy, collided with the Gauli Glacier in poor visibility. On board were eight passengers (among them two high-ranking officers of the U.S. armed forces, four women, and one 11-year-old girl) and four crew. Several people were injured, but there were no fatalities.

  • Am 19. November 1946 ereignete sich im Osten der Berner Alpen eine als Flugzeugabsturz auf dem Gauligletscher in die Geschichte eingegangene ungewollte unsanfte Landung einer amerikanischen Douglas C-53 (militärische Version der Douglas DC-3) auf der hohen Schneedecke eines mässig geneigten hochalpinen Gletschers. Es handelte sich nicht um einen Absturz und auch nicht um eine Bruchlandung, eher um ein Stranden, denn das Flugzeug nahm kaum Schaden. (de)
