No, please, not that urban myth again. The plane crash was miles away on the other side of the mountain.That scar on the side of Mount Isabella is from when an Aero Caribbean IL-18 crashed into it in 1992

beautifully clear this morning and a good view of Isabella from Sosua.....certainly looks like the scar is bigger to me
we talked about it so many times before! the "scar" is a result of constant earth slides up the mountain.
the plane crashed on the other side of the mountain. bits and pieces are still there.
don't ask dominicans about it. most people in POP still believe in santa claus! they will, of course, say it was the crash. because this is what a primo told them. and a neighbour. and this what they always believed.
here is some older thread on the subject:
Puerto Plata - history of mountain crash
Here is 2 photos I dug up from a post in May 2007
