Alaska Aircrash Investigations
Forest Flight Down
S1 E1:
Minutes after takeoff, an air taxi flight veered off course during a 40-mile flight from Juneau to Hoonah, and crashed into a steep mountain. The on-scene investigation and wreckage layout revealed the airplane and engine were not to blame. So what caused the pilot to take her unusual, and deadly, route? Join the investigators of the NTSB Alaska Regional Office as they battle 1,000-foot fjords, dense forests, and very dynamic weather on a quest to solve the mystery of a Cessna 207 accident that left four passengers injured and its pilot killed.
