The decades-long wait to find the wreckage of a World War II-era aircraft and remains of its 11 crew members came to an end on Saturday for a group of families gathered in Minnesota. 

The B-24 bomber named "Heaven Can Wait” with 11 crew members on board was shot down on March 11, 1944 while on a bombing mission in Papua New Guinea. The wreckage of the plane sat in 200 feet of water for decades until it was discovered last fall by a team with Project Recover."
