A tragic plane crash near St. Mary's, Alaska, on Sunday night resulted in the deaths of all four occupants aboard a Cessna 207 operated by Yute Commuter Service. The victims included two Alaskans, Scott Grillion and Benjamin Sweeney, alongside passengers Mario Gioiello and Caleb Swortzel. The aircraft went down about half a mile from the runway after the pilot requested a 'special VFR' clearance due to poor weather conditions. This incident marks the third fatal plane crash in Alaska within a weekend, raising concerns about aviation safety in the region. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash, which follows a similar incident involving Yute Commuter Service in 2020 that resulted in five fatalities. Authorities have begun the process of recovering the victims' bodies and documenting the crash site.
