A plane carrying former Sen. Ted Stevens and eight others crashed in remote southwest Alaska, killing the longtime Republican lawmaker and four other people, authorities said Tuesday.
Ex-NASA chief Sean O'Keefe was also believed to be aboard, but it was unclear whether he was among the dead.
Stevens' family has been notified that the 86-year-old was among those killed in the crash Monday night, family spokesman Mitch Rose told The Associated Press.
Rescuers arrived on helicopter early Tuesday and were giving medical care to survivors, Alaska National Guard spokesman Maj. Guy Hayes said. He offered no additional details, except that there were potential fatalities.

The odds of an 86 year-old surviving a plane crash are never good.

He was in a plane crash in the 70s. His wife died in that crash.
RIP Senator, you were railroaded to trial and by the time the conviction by a D.C. jury was overturned you had lost your re-election bid.
I wonder if anyone here understands the need for bridges to ‘nowhere’ in Alaska as opposed to having to fly onto and off an island under adverse weather conditions.
Just askin’

Back in the 70s, Congressman Hale Boggs (father of Cokie Roberts) was also killed in a plane crash in Alaska.
