Seaplane Crash in Juneau Region Glacier (N88820)

Accident Overview During an en route flight, a seaplane entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in flames into a glacier in the region of Juneau. All nine occupants on board were killed in the accident. The wreckage was located several hours later, situated within a crevasse in the glacier. ## Investigation Findings The official investigation was unable to determine the exact cause of the accident. The hazardous nature of the location precluded an on-scene investigation, which limited the ability to gather sufficient evidence to establish a definitive cause. The probable cause was therefore left undetermined in the official findings.
