Bodies of Alaska Helicopter Crash Victims Recovered

The remains of four people who crashed in a helicopter on the north slope in Alaska were recovered early yesterday morning. Officials have said the crash happened Thursday evening when the helicopter likely lost contact with the aircraft tracking system and went down into a remote lake about 50 miles southwest of the town. The passengers on board were chartered by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources and were conducting field work from the air when the helicopter went down. Officials are still investigating the cause of the crash.
