Episode Details

A charter plane carrying eight people, including two U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employees, crashed Thursday at a remote radar site in western Alaska. The twin-engine Cessna went down while attempting to land at Cape Newenham, about 450 miles west of Anchorage, killing all aboard. Officials describe it as a devastating loss for the military community and the regions they served. The FAA confirmed the crash at 12:15 PM local time, and the NTSB is leading the investigation. The radar station plays a critical role in monitoring Alaska’s airspace, and efforts are now focused on supporting the grieving families and colleagues of those lost.
