Alaska plane crash survivors rescued from Prince of Wales Island
(12 Jul 2018) The US Coast Guard rescued a pilot and 10 passengers on Tuesday, hours after their plane crashed on Alaska's Prince of Wales Island.
The chartered Taquan Air flight crashed on a rocky mountainside near Ketchikan on Tuesday.
Everyone survived and were rescued hours later by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The pilot told an investigator that he had left a lodge on Noyes Island just before 7:50 a.m. (1530 GMT), with the passengers and light cargo bound for Ketchikan, said Clint Johnson of the National Transportation Safety Board in Alaska.
During the flight, the pilot said, he noticed rising terrain ahead and tried to gain altitude to avoid it.
But the float-equipped de Havilland Otter aircraft collided with it instead.
The crash occurred around 8:35 a.m. (1635 GMT), Johnson said.
The U.S. Coast Guard says the plane crashed on Mount Jumbo on Prince of Wales Island, 39 miles (62 km) south southwest of Ketchikan, Alaska, at an elevation of 2000 feet (609 metres).
Johnson said it's too early to draw any conclusions about the crash.
A preliminary report was expected in the coming days.
Alaska State Troopers identified the pilot as Mike Hudgins of Ketchikan.
Hudgins made the news in 2016 for rescuing a dog swimming in a busy channel.
Efforts by The Associated Press to contact Hudgins weren't successful.
Taquan Air, in a statement, called Hudgins a skilled professional with thousands of hours of flying experience in Alaska, and hundreds of hours flying this particular aircraft. We are fortunate to have him as an employee.
The downed aircraft had an emergency locator that aided a search complicated by limited visibility of roughly one-quarter mile, Coast Guard Petty Officer Charly Hengen said.
The heavily forested Prince of Wales Island near the southern tip of the Alaska Panhandle is the fourth-largest island in the U.S.
At 2,577 square miles (6,675 square kilometres), it's larger than Delaware.

The Jayhawk crews arrived on scene, and were able to safely hoist all 11 people from the side of a mountain, approximately 2,000 AGL. The Jayhawk crew then took them to a staging area for further transfer to Ketchikan. All were reported to have minor injuries, but otherwise in good condition.

Heroin and Meth Discovered Hidden at Alaska Airport in Rancid Goat Meat
Learn how to make a lot of money online!!!:
How to lose 30 lbs in 30 days:
More than 11,000 doses of heroin and methamphetamine were discovered Wednesday in Alaska at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport hidden in a package of rotting goat intestines. Cenen Placencia, 71, was arrested on federal drug trafficking charges, according to a press release by Alaska State Troopers. As Placencia prepared to board a Ravn Air flight to Kodiak, he allowed law enforcement agents to search his checked luggage, which was a fish box that weighed in at 47 pounds. The box was sealed with duct tape and tied with a rope.Investigators opened the contents of the frozen meat and located 10 slightly larger than golf ball-sized balls of duct tape inside the intestine of what Investigators believed to be a goat, wrote agent Adam Carron in an affidavit. During further inspection, it was determined that inside of the duct tape wrapped balls were plastic bags containing what appeared to be heroin and methamphetamine.When a drug-sniffing dog reacted to the scent of narcotics in the box, Placencia withdrew his consent and bought a ticket for a later flight. Placencia told authorities he knew nothing about the drugs and was planning on eating the goat's intestines which he had allegedly purchased from a California rancher for $140. It was at that point that Placencia was arrested. Troopers reported that 740 grams of heroin and 389 grams of methamphetamine were stashed within the goat intestines. Since February, Placencia had been on the authorities' radar as a possible drug source in Kodiak. After warrants were served at Placencia's home in March, 130 doses of meth and 2,470 doses of heroin were seized, along with $2,279 in what a Coast Guard Investigative Service special agent referred to as drug proceeds.Placencia was not arrested at the time, but in July, authorities were informed that Placencia had used the carcass of a lamb to move drugs into Kodiak from Anchorage. Counting the drugs seized at Placencia's home in March with the narcotics seized at the airport, the estimated street value of the entire haul would be $400,000. Livestock isn't the only kind of animal smugglers have used to move drugs from place to place. Along with the Marine Corps, Mexican authorities found packages of cocaine inside the bodies of frozen sharks in 2009. Containers suspected of carrying illicit cargo were x-rayed. There was enough evidence from the radiographs to warrant examining the containers with drug-detecting dogs. German customs officials arrested a Colombian woman in 2016 at a Frankfurt airport after she confessed to having over two pounds of cocaine hidden inside her recently obtained breast implants, according to Business Insider. After the woman complained of severe stomach pain, airport officials noticed her fresh surgery scars. Doctors removed a plastic-wrapped 500-gram lump of cocaine from each one of her breasts.
