Alaska, Turbo Otter CFIT (sort of)

No fatalities, minimal injuries. Impact with rising terrain at 2000 ft, but looks like the pilot managed to mush it in, also using floats as expendable "EMAS" for minimum impact force. Well-controlled flight into terrain. Unclear if engine failure was a factor.

N3952B, apparently

Operated by Taquan Air.
