Finding the plane used for Argentina’s dictatorship-era “death flights” | 60 Minutes

Argentines are unraveling what happened under the country’s ruthless dictatorship decades ago. One investigation led to a “death flight” plane, used to throw citizens to their deaths.

That was interesting. Here's the youtube version of the same 60 minutes video

I recommend going to the ESMA museum.
Its very heavy, but important, and its the actual location where people were imprisoned and tortured, then taken direct to the airplanes once a week.
Really powerful, and worth a visit to understand what happened. More visceral than youtube, the entire museum is still a crime scene, the trials and legal cases are still not all resolved.

My mother-in-law whom I never had the honor of knowing was a founder of the Madres de Plaza Mayo and among the persons “disappeared” by Astiz at the Santa Cruz church in Boedo. She then became a victim of one of several death flights, and roughly two decades after her body and those of others washed up on shore, they were discovered in a grave marked NN (Nunca Nacido), thanks to the brilliant work of a team Argentine forensic anthropologists.
