Alaska Plane Crash Claims Eight Lives | Anchorage News

A devastating plane crash near Alaska’s Cape Newenham killed eight, including two beloved engineers and a young Air Force officer, as severe weather and low visibility doomed a second landing attempt. Among the identified victims: Joseph Palmer and Tom Fisher, key figures at Calista Brice, remembered for their family devotion and community spirit; Trevor McWilliams, a father of six; Sabrina Hansen and Hayden Scalis, Army Corps engineers; and Second Lieutenant Leah Borsich. The twin-engine Cessna, chartered by the Corps, remains under investigation by NTSB and FAA, with recovery hampered by Alaska’s remote terrain. The two pilots’ identities remain unknown as Security Aviation fully cooperates with authorities.
