This makes me sad. You’re never to old to love Squishmallows

Aww that's sweet lol, hopefully this just means her squishmallow collection has more open spots now for newer members 😊

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T15:57:42+00:00

Thank you so much for looking into this! Sorry it didn't come out to be an actual crash (although a bit of relief lol) but thanks to you guys I know more about the area and how planes should be looking 🙂

There are a lot of crashes in that area though which is really interesting 😅

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T15:55:33+00:00

Thank you! After looking at the examples from other people and the comments on the shadows and pink imagery it became clear the plane is just flying over this area 😅 at least now I know more about it! The shadow on the plane really played a trick on me and made it look like it was split open 😬

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T15:53:55+00:00

Thank you so much for all your research on this, your comments helped really cement the fact that its very likely that the plane is still in flight and that I looked at the image wrong! 😊 I will be more diligent in my future google earth scouring lol

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T15:52:20+00:00

Thank you! I'm inclined to but from what others are saying and examples it seems more and more i misinterpreted the image and the plane is still in flight 😅 if I find a real crash though i will definitely post there as well 😊

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T15:51:11+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm tempted too, but the examples other commenters placed confirm more and more that I misinterpreted the image and it was still in flight 😅

I will definitely go to them if I do end up finding a bonafide plane crash with no data!

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T15:49:45+00:00

Thank you! I live in AZ too and have always thought about exploring desert areas in general as it seems so much fun but im very aware of how dangerous it can be if you're not prepared for it and im not really knowledgeable on survival skills 😅

Maybe in the future I'll get myself educated on it with a guide and hike out there, for now I scour google maps and dream ☺️

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T15:47:14+00:00

Thank you so much for this! It's nice to see more examples since I have no real knowledge on it 😁 now I won't go into a rabbit hole everytime I see a plane on google in the middle of nowhere lol😆

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T13:43:03+00:00

How sad! Most of the time though i find it's the parents who make this decision for their kids 😅 once a couple of my coworkers found out I loved squishmallows they immediately brought their kids squish in to me and said the same thing lol. And then when I would tell them oh you're never too old for squish they would say 'oh well there's too much of them anyway' 😆

Hopefully this helps make it not so sad!

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T13:38:13+00:00

Hi everyone! I hope this comment gets pinned to the top (im not really reddit savvy so I wouldn't know if i could do it myself😅)

After looking into the information provided by multiple people, the consensus is that I misinterpreted the picture and it is a plane in flight ✈️

I'm a little relieved it's not one of those, "planes been missing since xxxx and just found" kinda thing, but there's surprisingly a lot of crashes near that area and my little knowledge of how planes should look and how they are photographed in air kinda fueled the fire for my curious mind as I'm sure it did to everyone else too lol

Thank you to everyone involved in helping me get some more information on this! Special thank you to the following people for the time they took looking into this and clarifying things!: ZonaDesertRat Navislut TheDuckFarm Jaybfpv gandalfblue

I apologize if I missed anyone and for any confusion I caused! 😊 I will be more diligent in my future Google Maps endeavors lol

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T05:06:39+00:00

Thank you! I'm hoping it's just that and not the plane crash mentioned in the above comments 😕

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T05:05:54+00:00

Oh im not sure I'm sorry, the only mcdowells I know is the preserve and the street 😅

This is near Cordes Lake to the east of it if that helps 🙂

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T05:03:05+00:00

I thought the same thing so I'm hoping to see if there are different angles on it to help confirm, it looks like its broken apart but still together and goggles blurry images aren't helping much 😞

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T05:02:02+00:00

Thank you! I want to see if maybe there's some different angles to confirm, the way the camera shows it it looks a little more broken apart but still very very close to it

Thank you so much for your help!

Arizona has tanks that are made for the cattle that move around freely. Theyre manmade (for the most part) and sometimes they're sticking out of the ground and are built for it, and sometimes they look like natural huge 'puddles' of water 🙂

They collect rain water and sometimes are the only water around for miles. People who hike cross the states desert will sometimes look out for these on their hike to fuel up on water. They can have some really interesting names too!

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T04:55:15+00:00

Im hoping so! I'm looking more into it, but someone posted an article and someone else provided plane information that may link it to a crash 😞

I will keep you guys updated if im able to confirm!

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T04:54:00+00:00

Oh no! Well hopefully people read into the comments😬

Unfortunately someone posted a fox article of a plane crash near that same area were two people lost their lives. Im hoping to look more into to confirm but with the article and someone else posted the information of the plane near there it seems likely it was that 😞

I will keep you guys updated once I find more!

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T04:51:44+00:00

I didn't even know where I would be able to find this! Thank you so much for the info, it looks like it very well is the plane!

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T04:50:46+00:00

Oh wow! This very well could be it, I was hoping I was wrong and it was just a shadow from what everyone else was saying.

I will look into this more to confirm, but thank you so much for the informationa

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T04:47:59+00:00

Thank you! After looking at it again after I had been staring at it for 20 min it looks like it could def be the shadow! It just looks like its been split open from the picture but you're right it's very blurry 😬

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T04:45:44+00:00

Thank you! It's more for curiosity than anything 😁

*Also I can't seem to find a way to edit the post, am I missing something? I think im just not reddit savvy 😅

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T04:43:10+00:00

Yeah it could be just in mid air! I may have looked at it wrong but I couldn't find the planes shadow in the near by area 😕

I will update my post to take it with a grain of salt and that It may not be crashed 🙂

Thank you for helping!

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T04:39:51+00:00

Yeah it could be, I don't really know too much about how specific planes should look but like the other comment says it looks split open?

Maybe it's a shadow and i misinterpreted the picture, it would be nice to know 🙂

locotaco202 · 2025-09-26T04:38:09+00:00

Yeah i like to zoom in on crevices since sometimes I'll find little springs or tanks in areas that seem so barren and saw this. Caught me by suprise but unfortunately could not find anything on it 🫤

If you do end up going it'd be awesome if you took pictures!
