Two Alaska Plane Crashes Under Investigation | Anchorage News

Two deadly plane crashes in Alaska within a week have shaken the region—and the NTSB is racing to uncover what went wrong. One plane, carrying eight people en route to a radar station, crashed near Cape Newenham; four victims were identified, including military and contractor personnel. Just six days later, another aircraft, piloted by former Bethel mayor Eric Middlebrook, plunged into Seldovia slough, killing all four aboard. Investigators are still untangling whether the second crash occurred during landing, takeoff, or a go-around—while grappling with rising air traffic that’s making Alaska’s skies more dangerous this season.
