Iceland's victory over England at Wembley during Euro 2024 was a result that many did not anticipate. The Icelandic team, known for their resilience and tactical prowess, demonstrated their skill and determination throughout the match. Despite being the underdogs, Iceland played with confidence and composure, ultimately securing a well-deserved 1-0 victory.
One of the key factors in Iceland's success was their solid defensive performance. The Icelandic players were organized and disciplined, making it difficult for England to break through their defense. Additionally, Iceland's counter-attacking style of play caught England off guard and allowed them to create scoring opportunities.
The plane was flying south when it crashed and sank off the north end of Jones Island, an uninhabited islet just west of Orcas, according to San Juan County Sheriff Eric Peter. The National Transportation Safety Board said Friday afternoon the plane had been located.
San Juan County Sheriff Eric Peter told CBS News that crews were searching the area, but had not yet recovered a body.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.
Anders, who was born in Hong Kong on Oct. 17, 1933, attended the U.S. Naval Academy and the Air Force Institute of Technology before being selected as an astronaut in the NASA space program in 1964, logging more than 6,000 hours flying time, according to his NASA biography.
Along with serving as a lunar module pilot for Apollo 8, he was also a backup pilot on the Gemini XI and Apollo 11 flights.
William Anders, born on October 17, 1933, in Hong Kong, graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1955 and after being commissioned in the US Air Force, he earned his pilot’s wings the following year, according to the US Naval Academy’s website.
Anders served as a fighter pilot in all-weather interception squadrons of the Air Defense Command in California and Iceland, according to NASA and the US Naval Academy.
While at the Air Force Weapons Laboratory in New Mexico, Anders was responsible for managing nuclear power reactor shielding and radiation effects programs, his NASA biography states.
Anders was a fighter pilot in the Air Force in interception squadrons and he was selected to be an astronaut in 1964. He joked to NBC's Harry Smith in 2018 that, “I’m probably the world’s best fighter pilot, but we don’t talk about that.”
“I must say, even today if I look up and see that little crescent moon, my hair kind of goes up on the back of my neck a little bit,” Anders said then.
