据官员消息，当地时间周三，一架搭载4人的小型飞机在阿拉斯加一处偏远沿海城镇附近的浅水区坠毁，机上所有人员遇难。
根据阿拉斯加州公共安全部的一份声明，这架派珀PA-24飞机从安克雷奇起飞后，正飞往塞尔多维亚小镇的机场。塞尔多维亚机场位于安克雷奇西南约136英里处。
阿拉斯加州州警表示，他们已派出一支由安克雷奇出发的直升机机组人员，以及乘船的州警前往事故现场。
美国国家运输安全委员会阿拉斯加地区负责人克林特·约翰逊表示，飞机坠毁后沉没在靠近岸边的塞尔多维亚沼泽约15英尺深的水中。州警不得不等待退潮后才能靠近飞机。
州警已将4名成年遇难者的遗体从飞机中救出。据公共安全部消息，遗体已被送往法医办公室，在通知遇难者近亲之前，不会公布他们的姓名。
目前尚不清楚坠机的可能原因。
美国国家运输安全委员会正在对此展开调查。
阿拉斯加州共和党参议员丹·沙利文表示，他将听取美国国家运输安全委员会和联邦航空管理局的情况通报，相关机构正试图查明事故原因。
他在脸书的一篇帖子中说道：“这类悲剧令人心碎且无法接受，这也是为何阿拉斯加的航空安全和基础设施始终是我最关注的议题之一。”
就在不到一周前，阿拉斯加西部一处偏远军事基地发生另一起飞机坠毁事故，机上8人全部遇难。当局表示，涉事飞机当时正进行第二次跑道进近，当时大雾弥漫，飞行员无法看清砾石跑道。
Small plane crash in Alaska into water near remote town kills all 4 on board, officials say

A small plane carrying four people crashed into shallow waters next to a remote coastal town in Alaska on Wednesday, killing everyone on board, according to officials.
The Piper PA-24 was heading for the airport in the small town of Seldovia after taking off from Anchorage, according to a statement from the Alaska Department of Public Safety. Seldovia’s airport is about 136 miles southwest of Anchorage.
Alaska State Troopers said they sent a crew by helicopter from Anchorage and troopers by boat to reach the scene.
After it crashed, thew plane was submerged in about 15 feet of water in the Seldovia Slough near the shore, said Clint Johnson, the National Transportation Safety Board’s Alaska region chief. Troopers had to wait until the tide went out in order to reach it.
Troopers were able to get the bodies of the four adults out of the plane. They were being sent to the medical examiner’s office and their names won’t be released until next of kin are notified, according to the Department of Public Safety.
It wasn’t immediately clear what may have caused the crash.
The NTSB is investigating.
Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, of Alaska, said he’ll be getting a briefing from the NTSB and Federal Aviation Administration as they attempt to figure out what went wrong.
“These tragedies are heartbreaking and unacceptable, which is why aviation safety and infrastructure in Alaska continue to be a top focus of mine,” he said in a post on Facebook.
Less than a week earlier, another plane crashed at a remote military site in western Alaska, killing all eight people on board. The aircraft had been making its second runway approach in heavy fog and its pilots couldn’t see the gravel airstrip, authorities said.
