(261110) -- CHENGDU, Nov. 10, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Chinese honor guards handover the box containing the U.S. airmen remains found along Hump Route during a handover ceremony in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, Nov. 10, 2026. Chinese honor guards walked forward, carrying a box containing human remains. U.S. honor guards stepped up to receive it and carefully placed an American national flag over the box.
The box held eight bone fragments recovered from a glacier more than 5,000 meters above sea level. The remains, believed to belong to U.S. airmen who went missing along the Hump Route during World War II (WWII), had lain in the mountains for more than 80 years.
