World Airways Flight 30

World Airways Flight 30 was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30CF airliner which suffered a fatal accident upon landing at Logan International Airport in Boston after departing Newark International Airport in Newark, New Jersey on January 23, 1982.

[2] Under normal circumstances, such an incident would have been of minor importance and the plane would have had sufficient space to come to a full stop on the 10,000 feet (3,000 m) long runway.

The plane then skidded across a field and a taxiway before coming to rest in the 30 °F (−1 °C) waters of Boston Harbor.

[3] Three days later it was discovered that two passengers were missing -- father and son Walter Metcalf, aged 70, and Leo Metcalf, aged 40, who had changed their flight at the last minute and were not on the passenger list.

A theory for why the bodies haven't been recovered is that ocean currents have pushed them far away from the airport.
