Far as I know Todd only has a two seat Piper Super Cub float plane so I'm pretty sure nothing to do with the Palins as far as small planes go...

Her last twitter message was 5 hours ago. I don’t even think she even owns a small plane(Could be wrong) but she never mentioned going anywhere so I really doubt it’s her. Condolences to the family of whoever these victims are

I have a lot of hours in a Super Cub like theirs so when I first found out they had one I knew they must be good people! :o)

Looking at those pictures, that was one hot a** fire.

Amazing how all of the rescuers got so close to the plane.

Probably running on adrenaline...no one wants to see someone trapped in that situation...

Not just close to the plane. Also holding onto, lifting up on, and applying pressure to a wing, which contains....a fuel tank!

Tuesday, June 1, 2010

SNIPPET: “ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A plane crash in Fairview killed a child and critically injured four others Tuesday evening.

The plane, which police say was carrying two adults, one teen, a child and an infant, crashed into a small building at the intersection of 7th Avenue and Ingra Street just after 5:00.

Police identified the plane’s occupants late Tuesday night as 34-year-old Preston Cavner, the pilot; his wife Stacie Cavner, 32; their two sons, Miles, 4, and Hudson, 2; and 16-year-old Rachel Zientak of Texas.

The Cavners operate a lodge at Port Alsworth and Zientak was one of their employees. Miles Cavner did not survive the accident, police said.”

This is one of the sad parts of living in Alaska. Distances are so vast and roads are so scarce, we tend to fly more than most. Overloaded, bad weather, tired pilots, you name it.

My heart goes out to the parents, our kids are supposed to bury us, not the other way around. May God be with them in this dark hour....
