Plane Crash caught on FAA weather cam



A small plane crashed in the snowy Southwest Alaska village of Kipnuk on Thursday and a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) weather cam caught the whole incident.  There were five people aboard the Era Aviation Cessna 206 when it ran out of runway and hit a snow bank in the village's small airport.
No one was injured, although passengers including a woman with an infant were driven to a clinic on snow machines to get checked out.
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator Josh Cawthra says this is the first time he's seen a crash captured on weather cam images.
