ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Five people aboard a commuter plane were rescued Monday after an emergency landing in waters near southeast

Alaska.

Alaska State Troopers say the Monday morning incident occurred near Coghlan Island a few miles from Juneau during a flight from Skagway.

Troopers say the five occupants swam to shore after the engine of the Alaska Seaplanes Cessna T207 stopped properly functioning because of a

Troopers say the pilot and four passengers were medically evaluated.
