Turner, Maine – September 14, 1957
On September 14, 1957, a small pontoon airplane with three people aboard crashed while attempting to land on the Androscoggin River. The plane flipped upside down trapping a father and daughter inside, who both drowned. A third person aboard, a 21-year-old man, managed to escape the cabin and clung to a pontoon until rescued.
