Same thing happend in 1964 with a TWA 707.
The airline landed at night KOSU (7 miles NE of Columbus, OH) instead
of KCMH (five miles east of Columbus, OH). KCMH is 10 nm ESE of KOSU.

South of Troutdale near the town of Estacada is the wreckage of a 707 that
descended into a mountain in the '60s because either he or a controller
confused the callsign. The pilot followed vectors intended for an aircraft
somewhere in Washington, but I don't know much else about it. A
firefighter up there told me they removed the bodies, avionics and the
engines but since its in a national forest area, the rest of the aircraft is
still scattered across the forest. Hiked out to find it one time and the
description of the terrain didn't match what we expected, and we didn't find
the crash, BUT while we were looking for it we came across the wreckage of a
National Guard UH-1 that crashed in the mid-70s.

What an odd coincidence...looking for one wreck and finding another.
