It was Friday the Thirteenth, 28 years ago. Even so, Dave Anderson remembers it like it was yesterday – a plane crash west of Nome, in which he and six others were rescued from the icy waters of the Bering Sea.
On Friday’s Juneau Afternoon, Anderson shares his story and reflects on a day that changed his life forever.
