Czech Republic's richest man killed in Alaska helicopter crash

A contracted helicopter carrying guides and guests from a lodge on a heli-skiing trip in Southcentral Alaska’s backcountry crashed Saturday evening, killing the pilot and four others, including the Czech Republic’s richest man.
The only other person onboard was in serious but stable condition Sunday night at an Anchorage hospital, Alaska State Troopers said.
The five killed in the crash were identified as Gregory Harms, 52, of Colorado; Petr Kellner, 56, and Benjamin Larochaix, 50, both of the Czech Republic; and two Alaskans, Sean McManamy, 38, of Girdwood, and the pilot, Zachary Russell, 33, of Anchorage, troopers said Sunday.
The five passengers included three guests and two guides from Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, said lodge spokeswoman Mary Ann Pruitt. The surviving guest’s name has not yet been made public.
Kellner was a billionaire businessman and financier with a net worth over $17 billion, according to the Forbes 2020 list of the world’s richest people.

chopper takes you to the top of a mountain and drops you off, extreme skiing, not patrolled or accessible by lift, and not even in a ski resort

Very sad. Ive heli skied a few times and if those helicopters have problems there's not much you can do.
With that said ive looked at going on a few trips in Alaska and these were the best of the best in the industry.

It's weird how rich people are killed because of the conveniences they can afford
Helicopters have always scared me and I don't understand the urgency of not just driving somewhere unless that was the only way to reach their destination
helicopters are always dangerous in those types of terrain

I'm sure the Czech government is about to take most of that fortune.

These are super secluded lodges where there are no roads. All material is flown in from an airport or other location.
Also these are very specialized helicopters that are suited to fly in these type of environments.
