The Alaska plane crash comes on the heels of two other major aviation disasters in just the past two weeks.

In one tragic incident, an American Airlines aircraft and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided mid-air, resulting in the deaths of all 67 people on board.

In another devastating crash, a medical jet traveling from the U.S. to Mexico went down. The plane was carrying a mother and her daughter, who had just undergone critical medical treatment in the U.S., along with a doctor, a paramedic, and two pilots.
