- Probe cites history of overweight flights, inadequate oversight in crash that killed 10 off Alaska
A commuter plane operated by Bering Air crashed on sea ice off Alaska, killing all 10 people on board, due to factors including a history of overweight flights and inadequate FAA oversight. The NTSB found the pilot failed to maintain adequate airspeed amid icy conditions, and the FAA did not address Bering Air's operational risks despite its rapid growth.
