Last Thursday, three people walked away from a helicopter accident on the Ruth Glacier.
Shortly after taking off from the Sheldon Chalet on Thursday, a Robinson 44, operated by Talkeetna Air Taxi, experienced difficulty on landing, ending up on its side.

The National Transporation Safety Board is investigating the accident.
