Officials with the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers identified three of the eight people killed when their aircraft tried to land in foggy conditions near a remote radar site in Southwest Alaska. The pilot aborted at least one attempted landing due to low visibility before the plane crashed during another attempt, investigators say.
