A friend told me about another crash in Alaska. It was a small passenger plane landing in Nome. The cause in that case was air traffic control giving disastrously poor advice to an inexperienced pilot that resulted in the plane stalling.
That was the one I was mentioned about the Bering Sea. Nome is one of our northern most cities (we have others and I forgot what makes Nome so unique but there is something) and Alaskan weather according to my college friend who became a commercial pilot is just another animal. The Bearing Sea is know to rapidly change and cause tons of ship wrecks and from what I understand the air isn’t much better.
It tracks that the two would go hand in hand to doom the flight… there is an enormous crisis facing the US with air traffic control people. Currently we are relying on recent military vets to try and flight a gapping hole and it’s just getting worse and worse.

Oh, ok. I didn't realize that plane had crashed into the Bering Sea.
Yeah, the wings iced over and air traffic control ordered the pilot to do something that experienced pilots would never do in that scenario.
