Shocking photo shows final second before deadly midair collision

Shocking photo shows final second before deadly midair collision Brian Niemietz A shocking image snapped from a sightseer’s digital camera captured the final moment before a deadly midair collision between two small planes over Alaska. The photo was taken by someone flying in a single-engine de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver, in which a pilot and all four passengers died during a May 2019 collision with a Havilland DHC-3 Otter. An investigation of the crash wrapped up this week. Investigators say the unidentified dead passenger’s Canon EOS Rebel digital camera withstood the 3,350-foot drop to the ground below. Anchorage Daily News reports that investigators retrieved the shapshot from an ill-fated passenger’s Canon EOS Rebel, which was found among the wreckage more than 3,300 feet below where the crash occurred. The image was believed to have been taken roughly a second before the planes connected.

Alaska Sightseeing Planes Crash Blamed on Blocked Views, Failed Alerts Systems

Alaska Sightseeing Planes’ Crash Blamed on Blocked Views, Failed Alerts Systems By Becky Bohrer and Tom Krisher | April 22, 2021 Two Alaska sightseeing planes collided in 2019 because the views of the pilots were obscured and aircraft-tracking systems failed to warn them about nearby aircraft, federal investigators concluded on Tuesday. Six people died, and 10 people survived. The National Transportation Safety Board in its probable-cause finding determined that the limitations of the “see and avoid” concept prevented the pilots from seeing each other before the collision. The board also cited a lack of alerts from the planes’ display systems. The board during its meeting also noted the planes’ structures or a passenger had limited the pilots’ views.

Obstructed Views, Lack of Alerts Caused Midair Crash: NTSB

Mountain Air Service pilot Randy Sullivan and his four passengers, and a passenger in a plane owned by Taquan Air were killed. Ten people were injured when the aircrafts converged at 3,350 feet (1,021 meters). The NTSB, citing information provided by the operators, said the Ketchikan-based floatplanes were on sightseeing tours and both “converging on a scenic waterfall” before returning to Ketchikan when the crash occurred. Mountain Air’s single-engine de Havilland DHC-2 MK 1 Beaver and Taquan’s larger de Havilland DHC-3 Otter collided just after noon over the west side of George Inlet following tours of Misty Fjords National Monument. NTSB Vice Chairman Bruce Landsberg said the “see and avoid” system that pilots rely on to avoid mid-air crashes doesn’t work well in high-traffic areas where the sight-seeing planes were traveling.
