An airplane that tried to turn back to the Kodiak airport just minutes after takeoff nose-dived into the harbor, killing six people and injuring four others Saturday afternoon, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board.

I haven’t figured out why events like the crash of a scheduled regional airliner in Alaska or the mass murder of six people in Oregon end up in “chat” together with computer news and pit bull attacks. Seems like they are more newsworthy than some other things I read in the News forum.

Maybe the Alaska and the PNW are not epidemic in tragedies in the news yet.
I would like to keep it that way.

But I agree why just chat.

I was wanting to know where the plain was going and what state the passengers are from since we have so many locals here that go up there.
