Terrible accident. Condolences to the victims and families.
Haven’t seen what weather was like, were they late returning to the ships after a tour and someone zigged when they should have zagged?
Took some videos last trip in Juneau of these planes landing and taking off as we sailed thru there in May.
Never have taken a heli or plane tour or fishing excursion anywhere we have sailed. Camels and elephants are dangerous enough for me. The Tram ride is a good spot to get a view of the area as well.
I’ve been to Alaska once. It’s a beautiful, scary place. The wilderness is totally unforgiving and anybody there has to be hugely self-sufficient. If you get into trouble there, you’re going to be the one to get yourself out or not get out at all. A friendly ambulance that’s just a 911 call away isn’t usually there. Then, outside of Anchorage and a few other places, try, just try to find a full service state of the art hospital.
I'm a hundred miles North of KTN but the weather all around Southeast Alaska has been sunny and clear for the past few days.
