National Transportation Safety Board investigator Clint Johnson says the pilot and nine passengers were killed in the crash at the airport late Sunday morning.
Meagan Peters of Alaska State Troopers says the fixed-wing aircraft was fully engulfed in flames before firefighters could get to the plane. The victims have not yet been identified.
The accident happened around 11:20 a.m. Johnson said initial reports had the accident happening as the plane took off.
The NTSB identified the aircraft in a release Sunday as a de Havilland Otter Air Taxi. The NTSB is sending a team to investigate the crash.
I don’t know how many people are aware of this and I don’t even have all the exact data to back this up but I assure you of this fact that over the last few years there have been plane accidents either on Rosh Chodesh Av, or very close to it. If someone has the ability to compile a list of plane crashes over the last few years will see for that some reason that can’t be explained some of these crashes happened either on or right before Rosh Chodesh Av.
