Plot Synopsis

Each one-hour episode of ALASKA AIRCRASH INVESTIGATIONS follows investigators from the Alaska Regional Office of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), as they search for evidence, interview witnesses, and identify the probably cause of a plane crash in Alaska -- be it man, machine, or environment. A wedding flyover that turned tragic. A commuter flight that mysteriously veered off course and slammed into a mountain. A pilot and passenger who survived a crash only to succumb to the raging currents of an icy waterway. These are just a few of roughly 100 aircraft accidents that occurred in Alaska in 2015 and challenged one of the busiest and most unique offices of the NTSB.
