JUNEAU, Alaska – Two witnesses on the ground described hearing a high-pitched sound from the engine of a small airplane before it crashed last year on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, killing all 10 people aboard.
Another reported seeing a puff of black smoke from the engine area.
The witness statements were included in investigative documents released Wednesday by the National Transportation Safety Board.
The documents provide no theories or analysis of what investigators believe might have caused the fiery crash in the town of Soldotna, about 65 air miles from Anchorage.

Earn 7,500 Bonus Aeroplan Miles when you complete two Radisson stays
– RewardsCanada.ca
Here is a really great new bonus mile offer from Carlson Rezidor Hotels Club Carlson and Aeroplan. It appears to take on similarity to the Starwood Aeroplan offer we have seen the past two years in Fall. The offer simply requires registration with your Club Carlson and Aeroplan numbers and then you just complete 2 separate Radisson Hotel stays Worldwide (we assume as their is no country requirement listed). How is it similar to the Starwood offer? It appears that you don’t have to be auto-coverting points to Aeroplan so our assumption is that you can earn Club Carlson points (and possibly any bonus point offers) on those stays and when both are complete, not only will you have earned Club Carlson points but you’ll also get the bonus 7,500 Aeroplan miles! Offer detailsEarn 7,500 Bonus Aeroplan Miles when you complete two separate stays at participating Radisson Hotels Worldwide. Full details, online registration and booking (Registration is required) Register and stay by Dec 15, 14
