Another Plane Crash In Alaska!

The chaos of incompetent governance.

All the money that goes to Israel could have been used for the Federal Aviation Administration. Republicans wanted to eliminate federal jobs. 

Well here's the end game.

The junk food media has covered the two deadly plane crashes in Washington, DC and Philadelphia. The junk food media did cover the missing plane in Alaska.

But that's it. 

No shocking stories.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Mike Dunleavy, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) and Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) were notified about the plane being found. 

Will Trump claim DEI was responsible or the lack of FAA administrators? The president listening to Elon Musk is cutting federal jobs. Some are essential to the movement of the country.

All 10 people aboard a small plane that went missing and was later discovered crashed in Alaska have been confirmed dead, officials said in a statement.

The Alaska Department of Public Safety said Saturday that all aboard the plane — nine passengers and one pilot — died. The plane had been traveling from Unalakleet to Nome (Sitŋazuaq) on Thursday when it went missing. It was found crashed on Friday.

The Alaska state troopers positively identified all 10 victims on the plane after they were recovered and brought to Nome, Alaska DPS said in a statement.
  • 52-year-old Liane Ryan of Wasilla  
  • 58-year-old Donnell Erickson of Nome
  • 30-year-old Andrew Gonzalez of Wasilla
  • 41-year-old Kameron Hartvigson of Anchorage
  • 46-year-old Rhone Baumgartner of Anchorage
  • 52-year-old Jadee Moncur of Eagle River
  • 45-year-old Ian Hofmann of Anchorage
  • 34-year-old Talaluk Katchatag of Unalakleet
  • 48-year-old Carol Mooers of Unalakleet
At a news conference earlier Saturday, National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy said the first priority of recovery efforts was recovering the victims. Then, the NTSB — which was investigating the crash — and responding agencies would work on recovering the wreckage.

Three people were found dead inside the wreckage of the plane Friday, the U.S. Coast Guard said. The agency said at the time that the seven others who were on the plane were "believed to be inside the aircraft, which was inaccessible due to the condition of the plane."

"The Coast Guard determined the severity of the wreckage was beyond the possibility of survival," it said Friday.

The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium said in a statement that two of its employees, Baumgartner and Hartvigson, died in the crash. The company said the pair had traveled to Unalakleet "to service a heat recovery system that is critical to the community's water plant."

Officials have said the Bering Air Cessna Caravan took off from Unalakleet, on the east coast of Norton Sound in western Alaska, and was headed to Nome around 140 miles away.

Trump like always brushes this shit off.

The plane took off at 2:37 p.m. Thursday, Bering Air Director of Operations David Olson told NBC affiliate KTUU of Anchorage.

At around 3:18 p.m., radar analysis showed "this aircraft experienced some kind of event which caused them to experience a rapid loss in elevation and a rapid loss in speed," Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Benjamin McIntyre-Coble said at a news briefing Friday.

The wreckage was found about 34 miles southeast of Nome, the Coast Guard said. The three bodies recovered Friday were found in the forward part of the aircraft by two Coast Guard swimmers, the agency said.

The Nome Volunteer Fire Department, with assistance from the Alaska National Guard, said Friday it activated its search-and-rescue team for the recovery effort.

Nome and Unalakleet are not serviced by the state's highway system. Air and water or snowmobiles and trails are the main forms of transport between the two.

Dunleavy said Friday that he and his wife, Rose, "are heartbroken by the loss of the 10 people on the Bering Air flight" and said their "prayers are with the families, friends, and communities mourning this tragedy."

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, thanked all those who responded and braved the elements to search for the plane, and said Friday that "my heart is broken over the news out of Nome."

"Alaska is a big small town," she said. "When tragedy strikes, we're never far removed from the Alaskans directly impacted. But that also means we come together as a community to grieve and heal."
