Rescue ongoing for 5 people in downed plane
Crews are trying to rescue five people in a downed plane on the side of a mountain at 11,000 ft.
'This could be the worst aviation disaster on Denali in history,' says veteran pilot
But all on board are believed to have survived the crash; it could have been much worse.
ANCHORAGE (KTUU) - Officials searching for survivors of a downed plane in Denali National Park are suspending operations until Monday morning as darkness falls and clouds refuse to budge.
Rescuers are treating the crash as if everyone is alive, said David Lee, the owner of Sheldon Air Service, who attended a multi-agency debriefing Sunday evening.
Lee described an ongoing full-scale effort with members of the Alaska State Troopers, the U.S. Army, the Alaska Air National Guard and the National Park Service, who were all in attendance at the meeting.

Prayers for all.
Fly in Alaska is rough for small planes.
Thank you, Linda.
It is indeed, Bob. And not just for small ones.
