I like the idea of a plane crash museum. I've personally lost several friends & acquaintances to plane crashes and only one to a shipwreck (or technically, lost at sea). I guess wind shear used to be an act of god that crashed planes but now there's technology to prevent that.

at the risk of being incredibly rude

do you live in alaska or are you related to paul wellstone?

No, just weird bad luck I guess. Especially for those people who are gone now.

xp can you elaborate on alaska = more plane crash prone?

not sure that it's more plane-crash prone, exactly, but most of it can only be reached by plane. an alaskan politician needs to fly a lot more than an east coast politician. and that's how ted stevens finally died.

also flying into juneau is apparently so harrowing (like, you'd better be lined up perfectly or you won't be able to clear the mountains on an aborted landing) that they've spent 70 years talking about moving the capital

A little technical, but this is a good analysis of the weather situation.
