ALASKA - Paramedic Maddox Burts, registered nurse Rob Cartner, and pilot Glen Morthorpe were killed this week when their aircraft crashed near Coopers Landing, Alaska.<\/p>

The Anchorage Daily News reports it is currently unclear why the plane crashed, but two other air ambulance companies had declined to fly the trip because of weather concerns.
