The National Transportation Safety Board has launched several investigations after seven people died in three separate plane crashes across Alaska, all within three consecutive days.

The first accident took place last Friday, when two brothers flying in a single-engine Champion 7GCBC crashed near Tustumena Lake and died. The next day, a seventy-one-year-old man crashed and died in Wasilla. And on Sunday, a Yute Commuter Services plane crashed near St. Mary's runway, ending four people's lives.
