2010 Alaska Turbo Otter crash
The 2010 Alaska Turbine Otter crash was a fatal accident that occurred on August 9, 2010, when a privately operated amphibious floatplane crashed near Aleknagik, Alaska, killing five of the nine passengers and crew. The fatalities included former United States Senator for Alaska Ted Stevens, while the survivors included former Administrator of NASA and current CEO of Airbus Group, Inc., Sean O'Keefe, and his son. The aircraft, a de Havilland Canada single-engine turboprop-driven DHC-3T Turbo-Otter registered to GCI, crashed on a mountainside while on a flight between two fishing lodges. Stevens and O'Keefe had been on a fishing trip when their airplane was reported overdue. The wreckage was quickly located after an aerial search, but rescue efforts were hampered by poor weather. The cause of the crash is unknown.〔Halsey, Ashley III and Lonnae O'Neal Parker. "The Waiting: Survivors of the Ted Stevens plane crash in Alaska wondered if help would reach them in time."

The floatplane crashed at around 2:30 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time (UTC-8), northwest of Aleknagik.〔 After it was reported that the aircraft had not landed as scheduled, other pilots launched a search and located the wreckage on a 40-degree slope in the mountainous Dillingham region.〔 The flight was being conducted under visual flight rules and was not monitored by radar at the time of the accident, since there is no such coverage in the area under 4000 feet. Other pilots who had flown in the same area during the course of the day described weather conditions in the region as "very bad"〔(Flying Conditions Had Been Poor in Crash Area ''Alaska Public Radio Network 8-10-10'' )〕 with visibility at times being less than .〔(Stevens Dies in Plane Crash; Some Survivors Flown to Anchorage ''Alaska Public Radio Network 8-10-10'' )〕
