ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A small plane clipped a downtown Anchorage office building and then slammed into a nearby commercial building Tuesday, killing at least one person onboard, authorities said.
Anchorage Assistant Fire Chief Alex Boyd said there were no injuries on the ground, but it's unclear if anyone else was in the plane.
The plane was with the Civil Air Patrol, National Transportation Safety Board representative Clint Johnson told CBS affiliate KTVA (http://www.ktva.com/just-in-small-plane-crashes-into-buildings-in-downtown-anchorage-598/), but it was unclear if it was a sanctioned flight.
The plane clipped the corner of the office building, where some state employees work, at about 6:20 a.m. It then crashed into the lower side of an adjacent multi-story commercial building, setting it on fire.
