Downed Alaska plane won't be recovered soon Medford couple among the nine people killed in excursion flight tragedy Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jul. 1, 2015 at 11:33 AM Posted Jul. 1, 2015 at 11:33 AM » Social News JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — It could be weeks before the wreckage of a sightseeing plane that crashed in steep, rugged terrain in southeast Alaska is recovered. The crash killed nine people, including a Medford couple. National Transportation Safety Board investigator Clint Johnson said authorities were waiting for a helicopter capable of lifting the parts to become available. He said that process could take three weeks. Johnson said NTSB investigators were trying to wrap up their on-scene work Tuesday. He said a preliminary report on the crash could be released as early as Friday. But he said it would only contain basic information. Eight cruise ship passengers on a flightseeing shore excursion were killed along with their pilot when their plane went down Thursday in Misty Fjords National Monument, near Ketchikan. The victims included Leonard and June Kranenburg of Medford.
