Sorry to hear that. Without many roads, the plane has become the "auto" in Alaska. Stats: In 2018, Alaska suffered nine plane related fatal accidents, eight in 2017, 12 in 2016, and 11 in 2015. Alaska's 12 fatal 2016 plane wrecks amount to 5.4% of the national total. This is a huge number in a state that is home to less than 1% of the U.S. population.
