It's 70 years today since the worst air disaster the Island's hills have ever seen.
An American Flying Fortress bomber was en-route to Northern Ireland from a US air base in Essex, when it flew into the side of North Barrule.
There were no survivors and the cause of the tragedy has never been discovered.
A memorial and flagpole has been at the crash site since 1995, where there are still remnants of the incident.
Ivor Ramsden from the Manx Aviation Society explains what happened on April 23rd, 1945:
