In the late 1980s, he made 18 trips to Afghanistan to shoot war footage that was later featured in a program named The Battle for Afghanistan (1987). Hoover has led various film teams all over the world, particularly in physically and politically difficult locations, such as Everest, K2, the precarious rock faces of the Eiger and the Venezuelan jungle. In 1994, Hoover was the sole survivor in a helicopter crash in Lamoille, Nevada that killed his wife Beverly Johnson, pilot Dave Walton, ski guide Paul Scannell and Disney president Frank Wells. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the accident was caused by snow ingestion into the helicopter's engine, and Hoover sued the helicopter manufacturer, reaching an out-of-court settlement. The legal case was a finalist for the Steven J. Sharp Public Service Award by the American Association for Justice. (en)
