"Mike Mackowiak"

A private plane crashed in November 2015 near Eldred Rock in the Lynn Canal, injuring four Haines residents, who swam to shore to save themselves. An investigation into the incident is now complete, but it’s still unclear why the plane went down. 

Pilot Mike Mackowiak told the NTSB he had fueled the plane before takeoff, and was convinced there was an electrical malfunction with the gauges when they read empty.
