A Douglas C-54 Skymaster airplane crashed into the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska, on Tuesday, according to Alaska State Troopers. Two individuals were reportedly on board, and their condition remains unknown. The C-54, a military variant of the Douglas DC-4, had a standard passenger capacity of 44 in its prime but has largely been converted for cargo transport. Troopers, who initially misidentified the downed aircraft as a DC-4, urge the public to steer clear of the crash site. Investigations will be conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), with the latter taking the lead.
