2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash
On August 9, 2010, a privately operated amphibious floatplane crashed near Aleknagik, Alaska, killing five of the nine people on board. The fatalities included former U.S. Senator Ted Stevens, while the survivors included former Administrator of NASA and then-CEO of EADS North America Sean O'Keefe, his son, and future Deputy Administrator of NASA James Morhard.


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash
The aircraft, a single-engine de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter registered to GCI, crashed on a mountainside while on a flight between two fishing lodges. Stevens and O'Keefe had been on a fishing trip. The wreckage was quickly located after an aerial search, but rescue efforts were hampered by poor weather.


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Accident
The floatplane crashed at around 2:30 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time (UTC-8), 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Aleknagik. After it was reported that the aircraft had not landed as scheduled, other pilots launched a search and located the wreckage on a 40-degree slope in the mountainous Dillingham region. The flight was being conducted under visual flight rules and was not monitored by radar at the time of the accident, since there is no such coverage in the area under 4000 feet. Other pilots who had flown in the same area during the course of the day described weather conditions in the region as "very bad" with visibility at times being less than 1 mile (1.6 km).


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Rescue efforts
Local responders were on the mountain within a half hour of the airplane being located around 6:30 p.m. A doctor, and a handful of local responders were dropped off by helicopter the same day and spent the night providing aid to crash survivors.


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Rescue efforts
Early in the morning as the Alaska Air National Guard arrived at the scene, also  by helicopter, the first responders assisted rescuers in navigating to the site with rain and fog in the area hampering rescue and recovery efforts.


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Rescue efforts
U.S. Coast Guard assets from Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak were also launched. A MH-60J Jayhawk helicopter crew arrived on scene and deployed their rescue swimmer to the crash site to assist Air National Guard pararescuemen in extricating and treating patients for transport to medical care. Survivors were transported to Dillingham after being hoisted into both the Air National Guard and Coast Guard helicopters. The crew was met in Dillingham by a HC-130H Hercules aircraft and crew from Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak. They embarked and transported several patients, including O'Keefe's son Kevin.


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Rescue efforts
The aircrew also transported two Air National Guard pararescuemen so that they could continue work on and monitor the medical conditions of the survivors. Due to the nature of the survivors' injuries, the cabin could not be pressurized and the aircrew flew at a lower altitude. All patients were delivered to awaiting EMS in Anchorage at Kulis Air National Guard Base.


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Rescue efforts
A spokesperson for the Alaska National Guard said that rescuers were giving medical aid to survivors of the crash, and that three survivors were being airlifted to Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage. Upon examination of the wreckage it was discovered that the ELT antenna had separated from the ELT housing on impact, thus disabling the emergency signal. It was also later determined that a functional satellite telephone that could have been used to summon aid was on board, but it went unused for hours, because passengers did not know it was there.


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Passengers
The aircraft was carrying eight passengers and one pilot. Four of the passengers and the pilot died and two more were badly injured, with the last two suffering only minor injuries. Among the five fatalities was Ted Stevens, who was a former U.S. Senator from Alaska. Also among the fatalities were a GCI executive and her 16-year-old daughter. Among the survivors were former NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe and his 19-year-old son Kevin, both of whom sustained non-life-threatening injuries but were listed in critical and serious conditions respectively the night after the crash. The senior O'Keefe sustained leg and neck injuries, and several of his teeth were broken.


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Passengers
Stevens and O'Keefe had been fishing together before, and had been planning a fishing trip to a site near Dillingham at the time of the crash. Stevens had survived a crash at Anchorage International Airport in 1978 that killed his first wife. Pilot Theron "Terry" Smith, who also died, had lost his son-in-law in another plane crash less than two weeks before.


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Passengers
Also among the dead was one of Stevens's former staff members, Bill Phillips. His youngest son, Willy, was seriously injured, and had to spend the night at the crash site with his dead father along with Jim Morhard, who survived.


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Investigation
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) sent a team to the site of the accident to investigate the cause of the crash. The team returned an inconclusive report in May 2011. They speculated that the pilot, a recovered stroke victim, may have fallen asleep or had a seizure, but there was no direct evidence to support these theories. The report was critical of the Federal Aviation Administration's re-certification process, stating:


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Investigation
The Federal Aviation Administration's internal guidance for medical certification of pilots following stroke is inadequate because it is conflicting and unclear, does not specifically address the risk of recurrence associated with such an event, and does not specifically recommend a neuropsychological evaluation (formal cognitive testing) to evaluate potential subtle cognitive impairment.


2010 Alaska DHC-3 Otter crash, Investigation
The report went on to note that the airplane was equipped with a Terrain Awareness and Warning System, but that the pilot had elected to fly with the system turned off. Because much of Alaska's terrain is highly variable, bush pilots will often de-activate the system, as it issues many false warnings.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash
On  July 28, 2010, a C-17 Globemaster III transport plane of the U.S. Air Force crashed at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska, while practicing for a flight display at the upcoming Arctic Thunder Air Show. All four crew members on board were killed. It was the first fatal accident of a  C-17 aircraft.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash
The subsequent investigation blamed pilot error for the low-altitude stall that led to the aircraft impacting the ground.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash, Accident
On  July 28, 2010, the crew was conducting a local training flight in preparation for the upcoming Arctic Thunder Air Show, to be held at the Elmendorf base from 31 July to 1 August. The C-17 is commonly featured in US air shows, highlighting its short takeoff and landing capability. The plane had flown earlier that day with a different crew.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash, Accident
At approximately 6:22 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time (UTC-8), the C-17 took off from Runway 06 at Elmendorf Air Force Base to practice the display routine. After the initial climb followed by a left turn, the pilot executed a sharp right turn.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash, Accident
As the aircraft banked, the stall warning system activated to alert the crew of an impending stall. Instead of implementing stall recovery procedures, the pilot continued the turn and the aircraft entered a stall from which recovery was not possible. The plane crashed and exploded in a fireball about two miles from the airfield.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash, Aircraft
The aircraft was a four-engined C-17 Globemaster III built by Boeing. It belonged to the 3rd Wing (3 WG) and operated jointly with the 176th Wing (176 WG) at Elmendorf AFB, located near downtown Anchorage. The aircraft had Air Force serial number "00-0173" and was named Spirit of the Aleutians.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash, Aircraft
The U.S. Air Force has 222 C-17s in service with the active Air Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard, with the type being based at Elmendorf since June 2007. At the time of the crash, the base had eight of the aircraft, operated jointly by an active duty Air Force organization, the 3rd Wing's 517th Airlift Squadron; and an Alaska Air National Guard unit, the 176th Wing's 249th Airlift Squadron. The mishap was the first fatal crash of a C-17.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash, Crew
The four crew members on board all died; they were Majors Michael Freyholtz and Aaron Malone, pilots assigned to the Alaska Air National Guard's 249th Airlift Squadron; Captain Jeffrey Hill, a pilot assigned to Elmendorf's active-duty Air Force's 517th Airlift Squadron; and Senior Master Sergeant Thomas E. Cicardo, a loadmaster of the Alaska Air National Guard's 249th Airlift Squadron.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash, Aftermath
A member of the Anchorage Fire Department described how a fireball extended to around 750 feet (230 m) into the air, an estimated 2 miles (3.2 km) from Anchorage. Debris from the crash was spread along 200 feet (61 m) of the Alaska Railroad tracks which carry passenger and freight trains daily through the base area, north to Wasilla, although no trains were scheduled to be passing through at the time of the crash.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash, Aftermath
Track repairs to the nearby railroad caused freight services to be suspended, and passenger services to be diverted by bus. The air show went ahead as planned as a tribute to the four dead airmen.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash, Investigation
The investigation report into the crash was released on 13 December 2010. It blamed pilot error, stating that the pilot's overconfidence in executing an aggressive right-turn maneuver led to a low-altitude stall and subsequent crash, despite the warnings correctly provided by the aircraft's stall-warning system, to which neither the pilot nor any other crew member responded effectively.


2010 Alaska USAF C-17 crash, Investigation
The accident displayed significant similarities with the 1994 crash of a B-52 bomber at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington. On both occasions, the local USAF unit's chain of command apparently failed to prevent the pilots involved from developing deliberately unsafe flying practices for aerial displays of large aircraft.


2010 Alaska Wild season

Eight players who had been selected in the 2009 team did not make the 2010 squad, including 2009 captain Nick Riewoldt, Matthew Scarlett, Nick Maxwell, Simon Goodwin, Brendan Fevola, Leon Davis, Jonathan Brown and Craig Bolton.


2010 All-Australian team, Team, Final team
The 2010 All-Australian team was announced on 13 September. Six of the 22 players were Geelong players, with four players coming from minor premiers Collingwood, while Hawthorn, Melbourne, St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs had two players each. Carlton, Fremantle, Richmond and West Coast all had a lone representative, which meant that Adelaide, the Brisbane Lions, Essendon, North Melbourne, Port Adelaide and Sydney were not represented in the final 22. Players to make the squad for the first time were Harry Taylor, Jack Riewoldt, Scott Pendlebury, Harry O'Brien, Mark LeCras, Mark Jamar and James Frawley.

No current team captains were named on the field (Chris Judd, captain of Carlton, was named on the bench) and so the selectors named Hawthorn vice-captain Luke Hodge as the captain instead. 2009 Brownlow Medallist Gary Ablett Jr. was named vice-captain, although he was neither a captain or vice-captain at the time.

Of the 18 players from the squad of 40 who missed out, the non-selections of Fremantle's Matthew Pavlich, St Kilda's Lenny Hayes, Melbourne's Brad Green and 2008 Brownlow Medallist Adam Cooney were considered the most contentious. Hayes, in particular, was considered a surprise, with St Kilda teammate and All-Australian wingman Leigh Montagna saying: "I was very surprised Lenny wasn't in the team... I pencilled him in for a captain or vice-captain. It's a big shock." Pavlich's non-selection also raised some eyebrows, with many experts predicting that the Fremantle captain would be selected in what would have been his seventh All-Australian side.

2010 All-Big 12 Conference football team
The 2010 All-Big 12 Conference football team consists of American football players chosen as All-Big 12 Conference players for the 2010 Big 12 Conference football season. The conference recognizes two official All-Big 12 selectors: (1) the Big 12 conference coaches selected separate offensive and defensive units and named first- and second-team players (the "Coaches" team); and (2) a panel of sports writers and broadcasters covering the Big 12 also selected offensive and defensive units and named first- and second-team players (the "Media" team).
