Military plane crashes on training mission in Alaska, killing 4 airmen

(CNN) -- All four airmen on board an Air Force C-17 were killed when the cargo plane crashed during a training mission near Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska on Wednesday, the Air Force reported Thursday. The names were being withheld, pending notification of next of kin.

The aircraft, assigned to the 3rd Wing at the base, crashed about 6:14 p.m. local time, Air Force Capt. Uriah Orland said.

In a statement Thursday, 3rd Wing commander Col. John McMullen said, "Our deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences go out to the family and friends of those airmen killed in this crash. Yesterday, we lost four members of our Arctic Warrior family and it's a loss felt across our entire joint installation. Right now, our immediate focus is on providing all possible support to the loved ones of our fallen aviators. We are also engaged in a deliberate investigative process."

Gov. Sean Parnell issued a statement expressing his sympathy for the crash victims.

"Alaskans are very connected to the military and our thoughts and prayers are with Alaska's Air Force family," Parnell said.

A board of officers will investigate the accident, Orland said.

Agora falando sério:

Já tem algum reporte do ASN com o METAR da hora? Avião militar é raro ser publicado acidente. Provavelmente devido à exposição recente (F-18 no Canada, MD11, Airbus, 737) a imprensa tá dando mais atenção...

Uma pena que aconteceu mais um acidente.
