Alaska Plane Crash Survivors Found Alive After 12 Hours
A Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser crashed on frozen Tustumena Lake near Homer, Alaska, with a pilot and two children aboard. Good Samaritans, aided by radio communication, located the wreckage and survivors approximately 12 hours after the aircraft was reported overdue. All three occupants sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to a hospital. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash, interviewing the pilot to determine its cause.
