Two Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak helicopter aircrews rescue three people after their float plane crashed in the vicinity of Uganik Lake on Kodiak Island, Alaska, Sept. 9, 2016.
Watchstanders at the 17th Coast Guard District command center received an electronic locator beacon alert from a De Havilland DHC-2 float plane at 12:20 p.m., which prompted the launch of the two rescue helicopters.
