## Resource

A billionaire’s final flight turned into a legal firestorm as the wrongful death lawsuit against Soloy Helicopters and Tordrillo Mountain Lodge unfolds — alleging that despite surviving the 2021 heli-skiing crash near Knik Glacier, Petr Kellner died not from the crash itself but from a delayed rescue due to operator negligence and broken emergency protocols. While the NTSB blames pilot error in a whiteout, the estate argues the real killer was the hour-long delay in reporting the missing chopper and the failure of its emergency beacon. With expert testimony clashing over pilot experience and response failures, this high-stakes case could redefine accountability in Alaska’s dangerous heli-skiing industry.
