Eight people are dead after a small plane crashed in fog near a remote Cold War-era radar site in Alaska, where two U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employees were among the victims. The site, still active and vital for monitoring Russian, North Korean, and Chinese airspace, has a treacherous mountain airstrip that requires instrument landings. Investigators from the NTSB are now on the scene to determine what went wrong — examining weather, pilot communications, and flight data — as the charter company remains silent. Officials honor the fallen as “dedicated professionals,” while lawmakers offer condolences — a sobering reminder of the dangers faced by those who keep America’s critical, isolated defenses running.
