The bridge in the background should be in the same place today. ( could be used for exact location of the crash).

Like I said before 168 unindentified body were burried in Ploesti Heroes Cemetery.
Among them are crews from Jose Carioca, Euroclydon etc. But most of them fell on targets ( refinerries and building from the city) and the bodies were probably desintegrated in many parts and the Tags indentification was not found by the romanian authority.
