A World War II Mystery Is Solved, and Emotions Flood In

A photo provided by the U.S. Army Air Force of the B-24 bomber called Heaven Can Wait, to which Second Lt. Thomas V. Kelly Jr. was assigned, taken in 1943, the year before it was shot down off Papua New Guinea. The discovery of the bomber shot down 74 years ago in Hansa Bay has helped Kelly's family find closure, and shows how new technologies are locating those who were long lost.
