The brothers are from a town about 4 miles from me.

It's tragic for sure, but isn't ANYone learning anything from previous crashes?
I just have to wonder what's going on...a bit unusual, wouldn't you say SD?

It's been a rough summer all over AK; weather, fishing, planes... All three categories have been pretty crappy this year in comparison to years past.

Keep them in your prayers.

You can do everything right and mechanical things will still break.

**** happens.

Prayers out for them and their families.

Their BIL was on the local news tonight and said the family is hoping they just set the plane down and are waiting for rescue. Beyond that, they don't know anything.
