Searchers said on Monday that they had found four bodies in a sightseeing aeroplane carrying tourists in Alaska’s Denali National Park.
Another person remains missing and is presumed dead after the crash Saturday evening on a mountain ridge about 23 kilometres southwest of Denali, North America’s tallest mountain.
After going down, the pilot reported by satellite phone that passengers suffered injuries but the connection failed before he could give details.
Low-lying clouds and rainy conditions prevented crews from spotting the wreckage until clearing weather Monday allowed a helicopter to reach the crash site.
The plane, operated by K2 Aviation, had taken off Saturday evening with a pilot and four passengers for a tour of Kahiltna Glacier, the jumping-off point for climbers attempting to climb Denali.
