A plane carrying 42 people aboard the runway in Alaska has almost crashed into the water. The accident happened on Thursday night in the city of Unalaska on an island on the Bering Sea.
Two people were seriously injured, ten were treated by doctors, the local broadcaster KTUU reported, citing the airline PenAir.
PenAir had the scheduled flight 3296 carried out on behalf of the airline Alaska Airlines. The machine came from Anchorage, Alaska's largest city. The cause of the accident is still unclear.
An eyewitness told KTUU that the plane had broken off a first landing approach, and then crashed on the second attempt. It had been windy, but he had not considered the wind as problematic, said the man. The competent authorities announced investigations into the cause of the accident.
