FAIRBANKS, Alaska — A Douglas C-54 Skymaster airplane carrying two people crashed into the Tanana River near Fairbanks on Tuesday and burst into flames, authorities said. No survivors have been found. The plane took off in the morning from Fairbanks International Airport.

Dallas LeBeau knew how to ski before he knew how to walk. The 21-year-old skier and Winter Park coach who died attempting to jump over U. S.
