It
appears an improperly installed thumb latch on a luggage panel and a missing guard
are to blame for a door that swung open on a chartered Servant Air flight from
Kodiak last year. The plane subsequently went into a nosedive and crashed into
the bay just off the end of the runway. This, according to a National
Transportation Safety Board report released recently. The plane was a Piper
PA-31 Navajo Chieftan, an aircraft that has experienced six similar crashes with
panels swinging open since 1977, three of which occurred in Alaska.

sea.

Guard Cutter Alex Haley and has served 25 years at sea.
