Terrifying video showing the Douglas C-54's engine burst into flames above a farm, moments before the plane crashed on the Tanana River, near Fairbanks, Alaska, earlier today.

I spoke with Mike Emers, a local farmer and one of the first people who ran to the plane crash with his son, describing the scene as “nothing left.”
