Miss Piggy: The Story Behind Churchill's Famous Plane Wreck

Deep in Churchill, Manitoba, along the shore of Hudson Bay, sits the wreckage of a plane locals call Miss Piggy. In this video, we explore the history behind this crashed Curtiss C-46 Commando cargo plane and how it became one of the most iconic landmarks in Churchill's arctic landscape.

Miss Piggy crash-landed on November 13, 1979, shortly after takeoff from Churchill Airport, after losing oil pressure in one engine. The crew survived, but the plane never flew again. Decades later, it still rests on the rocks above Hudson Bay, drawing photographers and travellers from around the world.

If you're planning a trip to Churchill, Manitoba, this is one stop worth adding to your list, along with polar bear tours, beluga whale watching, and the northern lights.
