Reduced visibility hampers Alaska plane wreckage effort

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Foggy, reduced-visibility conditions have delayed efforts to recover the wreckage of a sightseeing plane that crashed in southeast Alaska, killing six people. Clint Johnson, chief of the National Transportation Safety Board’s Alaska region, says the agency had hoped to recover the wreckage Sunday. But he says those efforts were called off due to poor conditions. He says the crew planned to try again on Monday. He says the wreckage is in a rugged, steep area that is heavily forested. Meanwhile, Alaska State Troopers on Saturday released the identities of the pilot and five people on board the plane that crashed Thursday. Troopers said the bodies were recovered.
