CNN) -- A plane crashed near Dillingham, Alaska, Monday night with some survivors and some fatalities, the Alaska Air National Guard told CNN.

Officials do not yet know what kind of plane went down in an area about 17 miles north of Dillingham, said Guard spokesman Maj. Guy Hayes. It reportedly had eight people on board, the Guard said.

Bad weather was reported in the area at the time of the crash about 7 p.m. (11 p.m. ET), Hayes said.

The aircraft, which was reported overdue, bears the tail number N455A, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. That aircraft is a 1957 DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter registered to GCI, according to FAA records. The FAA did not immediately provide other information about how it knows that this is the aircraft.

Friends of former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens said he was traveling Monday to the GCI-owned Agulowak Lodge near Lake Aleknagik, and they were concerned for him.

A woman who answered the phone at the Anchorage home of retired Air Force Gen. Joe Ralston, a good friend of Stevens, said Ralston was with Stevens' wife, Catherine, comforting her and trying to find out what was going on.

No one answered the phone at the homes of Stevens' daughter, Susan Covich, in Kenai, or his son, Ben, in Anchorage.

over 6 billion people in the World...and poor little Teddy "feared" to be one of them in this crash.

He should be in prison right now, I guess this is a case of wrong place at wrong time.

Karma's a bitch...

13. You know - conspiracies can and do happen.
 The human brain is capable of a wide-range of emotions: one can feel both sad for the loss of human life, while simultaneously considering the possibility that the life was taken as a result of foul play.

Look, yet another politician or journalist who may have had a motive to tell all he knew or react positively for the American worker/public over the corporations may have been killed in a small plane crash just before that could happen.

To wit:

Paul Wellstone
Mel Carnahan
JFK, Jr.
Ronald H. Brown
Bush IT expert Mike Connell


Just to name a few.

He already is...he was buried in D.C. almost two years ago.

He already is...he was buried in D.C. almost two years ago.

Really....seems more like just a couple of months ago.

....and the DUmmies reaction gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling....











...like a mad as hell porcupine.

[NHSparky]

IIRC, nobody was pissing on Fat Ted's grave.  Ditto Wellstone, although at the time I made some comments about the circus the Dems made of the memorial and his retarded howler monkey of a son jumping up and down on stage, screeching, "WE WILL WIN!!!  WE WILL WIN!!!"

No, DUmb****s--YOU want to make everything about politics.  Some of us are a little more mature than that.  Hell, half the Democrats in Congress should be in prison, but I'm not about to get my panties in a bunch over it should they meet an untimely end.  I'd say suffering from brain cancer was bad enough in and of itself, ya'll didn't need or want me piling on.

Read some of the comments there NOW.

So much class in a DUmpster, ain't there?

8. If only he weren't from Alaska
 then I might take the time to go to his grave, to spit on it.

I only regret he didn't meet his end at the hands of justice, rather than the hand of fate.

38. His family can go F themselves
 Ted Stevens was the epitome of the corrupt, sleaze-and-graft driven politician. It is in no small part because of Stevens that things are as ****ed up as they are today.

If his family had turned him in for his many felonies, they'd get my sympathy. Clearly they preferred to profit from it, and thus I hope their miseries multiply.

Look up his background, and see if you can bring yourself to tell me again that "good riddance!" is not only perfectly justified but the correct reaction that any decent person should have to his passing.

15. I hope he realizes he's going to be buried in a very small tube
 and largely ignored.

Bye bye, Ted. I hope you're roasting nicely.

 If so, would she win?

Bragi, the headline reads FORMER senator.  The seat is not vacant.  Try and keep up.

Thank You to the FEW Progressives who've shown class!

Yeah, there are usually quite a few who show some decency.  But then again, this is "only" Ted Stevens, not a Palin/Limbaugh/Cheney/Bush, etc.  When someone like Reagan or Ford have passed away, they're about 95% classless.

[Airwolf]

Pretty telling when the DUmpmonkies seem to have forgotten the tiny fact that the DOJ was roasted on how they  prosecuted him. Seemed to be a bit of a problem with either the evidence or testimony.

[thundley4]

Obama thought it was James O'Keefe on the flight not Sean O'Keefe.  He thought he was fixing a problem for ACORN.

 Bill Clinton was the epitome of the corrupt, sleaze-and-graft driven politician. It is in no small part because of Clinton that things are as ****ed up as they are today.

If Clinton's family had turned him in for his many felonies, they'd get my sympathy. Clearly they preferred to profit from it, and thus I hope their miseries multiply.

 Notesdev was the epitome of the classless, vile, and revolting DUmbass. It is in no small part because of DUmbfux like him that things are as ****ed up as they are today.

If notesdev's family had turned him in for his many felonies and character faults, they'd get my sympathy. Clearly they did not give a shit, and so won't be too miserable.  Fortunately for them, they never really loved him anyway, so he will not be missed or even much remembered.  He will be cheaply cremated and unceremoniously dumped in the garden, as ashes are good for the tulips.   

Look up notesdev's background, and see if you can bring yourself to tell me again that "thank God we finally got rid of him!" is not only perfectly justified but the correct reaction that any decent and civilized person should have to his passing. Although decent and civilized people would keep that thought to themselves, and not post it on a stupid internet forum.

Fixed.
