Eight killed as plane crashes at remote Air Force site in Alaska
Eight people have died after a civilian-contracted aircraft crashed at a remote United States Air Force site in Alaska.
The aircraft crashed at the airport serving a long-range radar site in Cape Newenham, located in southwestern Alaska, the Alaskan Command said on Thursday.
Rescuers who arrived at the crash site confirmed that all eight people on board had died.
The military did not disclose the identities or nationalities of those on board, nor did it immediately provide details on what they were doing at the radar facility, which monitors aircraft operating in Alaskan airspace.
An Alaskan Command spokesperson said an investigation into the cause of the crash was underway and that the identities of the victims would be released after their families had been notified.
“This is a devastating loss for our military family and the communities we serve,” said Alaskan Command chief, Lieutenant General Robert Davis.
“These individuals were dedicated professionals carrying out a vital mission in a demanding environment,” Davis added.
