On August 4, 2018, 59-year-old visitor from Poland Janusz Intek was aboard a sightseeing flight out of Talkeetna, Alaska, with three fellow Polish tourists and a Michigan pilot. The de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver failed to return and a multi-agency search centered on the Alaska Range and Denali. Wreckage was later found high on a knife-edge ridge of Thunder Mountain, in a deep crevasse near 11,000 feet and about 14 miles from Denali’s summit. Authorities confirmed there were no survivors, but the crash site proved too hazardous for recovery teams.

Because the ridge and glacier conditions were judged unsafe, recovery attempts were suspended and the victims’ remains were not recovered. The decision left the site effectively inaccessible and the five occupants entombed in the glacier. Does anyone have information about the flight, passengers, or who might have last seen them before the tour?
