Tragic Alaska Landslide Claims Lives and Leaves Others Missing

Three people, including a young girl, have been found dead and others are still missing after a large landslide hit a highway near a remote community in southeast Alaska. The landslide covered three homes and grew to an estimated 450 feet wide. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing, with two juveniles and an adult still unaccounted for. The area has experienced heavy rainfall and strong winds, increasing the risk of debris flows. Alaska's governor has issued a disaster declaration, and people are urged to avoid the slide area due to ongoing activity and the potential for additional landslides.
