A small plane has crashed into shallow waters next to a remote coastal town in Alaska. Officials say rescuers were waiting for the tide to go out in order to reach it on Wednesday.

Four people are dead after a plane crashed into the sea water in Alaska's Kenai Peninsula in the town of Seldovia.

Two air traffic controllers left work early ahead of a deadly collision between an Air Canada jet and a fire truck at New York's LaGuardia Airport in March, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

The Piper PA-24 aircraft departed Merrill Field Airport in Anchorage and crashed Wednesday afternoon while en route to the Seldovia Airport, officials said.

A small, fixed-wing, single-engine airplane crashed nose down in a field east of Big Bear Airport Thursday evening, leaving the pilot hospitalized. The pilot was the only person aboard, and was flown out by helicopter after the crash was first reported around 6:20 p.m. near the 100 block of Mountain View Boulevard.

The Piper PA-24-260 was completely submerged in about 15 feet of water in the Seldovia Slough after departing Anchorage.
