Crash in Alaska's Wilderness Exposes America's Deep Flying Divides The recent crash of a small plane in western Alaska, which had eight people on board, has left many questions unanswered and raised uncomfortable truths about the privileges of flying in America.
The Federal Aviation Administration reported that the Cessna 441 took off from Anchorage earlier this week and was headed to the Cape Newenham Long Range Radar site when it crashed around 12:15 p. m. local time.
The investigation into the crash will be led by the National Transportation Safety Board, which has a reputation for conducting thorough probes into aviation accidents.
