Alaska plane makes emergency landing
The Associated Press
ANCHORAGE – A National Transportation Safety Board investigator says a plane with eight people on board, including two children, made an emergency landing about 18 miles from the village of Tuntutuliak.
Alaska State Trooper Ron Monigold says there don’t appear to be any serious injuries.
NTSB senior air safety investigator Clint Johnson says the Yute Air Cessna 207 apparently lost power Wednesday evening on a flight between Kipnuk and Bethel in southwest Alaska. Tuntutuliak is about 40 miles southwest of Bethel.
Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters says a village public safety officer and some volunteers set off on snowmobiles to bring those on board the plane to safety. At 7 p.m. Wednesday, the temperature at Bethel was -6 degrees.
