Foggy, reduced-visibility conditions have delayed efforts to recover the wreckage of a sightseeing plane that crashed in southeast Alaska, killing six peopleJUNEAU, Alaska -- Foggy and reduced visibility conditions delayed efforts to recover the wreckage of a sightseeing plane that crashed in southeast Alaska, killing six people, a National Transportation Safety Board official said Sunday. Clint Johnson, chief of the agency’s Alaska region, said efforts to reach the site Sunday were called off due to poor conditions. “Very challenging conditions,” Johnson said, adding that the wreckage would have to be removed by helicopter. He described conditions at the accident site as having low ceilings, reduced visibility and fog. Alaska State Troopers previously reported the pilot was the only person on board and that no injuries were reported.
