Alaska, Jun 26: At least nine people were killed when a small plane carrying nine passengers on board crashed near Alaska, media reported on Friday.
The plane with eight cruise passengers and pilot on board went missing on Thursday and was crashed against the granite rock face of a southeast Alaska cliff about 20 miles northeast of Ketchikan, near Ella Lake, CNN reported.
The reason of the crash of the DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter turboprop is yet to be identified.
