PITT MEADOWS, B.C. - The 60-year-old wreckage of a Second World War-era bomber in the mountains above Metro Vancouver prompted a search by RCMP for human remains.

Mounties in Pitt Meadows, B.C., received a call about a video posted on YouTube by a group of hikers who claimed there were remains at the site of the 1953 crash.

On Sept. 14 officers, along with a forensic identification specialist and a dog unit, flew into area and hiked to the remote location to search.

Const. Alanna Dunlop says no human remains were found.

The Mitchell B-25 went down near Pitt Lake in January 1953 during a training flight.

The site was so remote and the route so treacherous that Air Force crews had to wait until the following September to recover the bodies.
