Investigators hunt for clues into deadly Alaska plane wreck
A crew of nine investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board arrived in Anchorage, Alaska, on Saturday, February 8, to find out why a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan crashed over the Bering Sea, killing all 10 on board.
NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said the Cessna carrying nine passengers and one pilot was lost from radar contact about 3:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, February 6, over the Bering Sea as it headed from Unalakleet, Alaska, to an airfield in Nome, about 100 miles (161 km) south of the Arctic Circle.
The incident comes at a time of heightened scrutiny of air safety in the United States. NTSB investigators are probing two deadly crashes in recent days: the midair collision of a passenger jet and US Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, D.C., that killed 67 people, and a medical jet crash in Philadelphia that killed seven.
