jumping to a conclusion but weather probably played a part in the crash, unfortunately.
You have to be smart enough to not fly in bad weather. Personally, I would not fly into Seward on any day that wasn't perfectly clear. Too many hard clouds.

to many people fly in weather that shouldn't.
Here's another example: South Dakota plane crash leaves 9 dead, 3 injured, authorities say. bad weather in SD at the time.

Unfortunately, bad decisions by bad pilots usually affect more than just them.

Why aren't Greenpeace and NPR and the NY Times and the WaPo bellyaching and caterwauling ?
Supposedly, the flight was chartered as a medivac. Someone forgot the first rule of rescue, don't add to the victim list.
