Last month, a Basler (the type of plane I flew in from McMurdo to Pole) crashed during takeoff on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. No one was seriously hurt, but the plane didn't end up so well. The passengers, pilots, and crew had to break out the survival bags and camp for about 18 hours until some Twin Otters sent from here at Pole reached them.
Someone on the plane has blogged about the incident and shared pictures.
