The 60 year old pilot, Thomas Iverson, and his two passengers perished late in the morning of July 12, 2008, when the Cessna floatplane crashed and burned on the West side of Cook Inlet. The crash site was close to the abandoned native village of Kustatan, across Cook Inlet from Nikiski. The passengers' families likely have claims against the pilot's liability insurance, or his estate, if he can be shown to have caused the crash. If a maintenance problem or mechanical defect is shown to have caused the crash, others may be responsible to all on board. The NTSB continues to investigate.
