Alaska: A charter aircraft carrying eight people crashed at a remote radar site in western Alaska, killing all on board, the US military said.
The crash happened at Cape Newenham Long Range Radar Site Airport, approximately 450 miles (725 km) west of Anchorage, Alaska, on Thursday.
“This is a devastating loss for our military family and the communities we serve,” said US Air Force Lt Gen Robert Davis, commander of Alaskan Command, the Alaskan North American Aerospace Defence Command Region and Eleventh Air Force.
Clint Johnson, the National Transportation Safety Board's Alaska region chief, said two pilots and six passengers were on board. He did not immediately have details on their status.
