 Three dead and three missing after landslide rips through remote Alaska fishing community. Three people were killed and three were missing after a landslide, barrelled down a heavily forested, rain-soaked mountainside and smashed into homes in the remote fishing community in southeast Alaska. The slide, estimated to be 450 feet wide, occurred after significant rain and windstorm near Rangel, an island community of 2,000 people, some 155 miles south of the state capital of Juneau. Rescue crews found the body of a girl in an initial search and the bodies of two adults were found by a drone operator. Searchers used a cadaver sniffing dog and heat-sensing drones to search for two children and one adult unaccounted for after the disaster, while the Coast Guard and other vessels looked along a waterfront littered with rocks, trees and mud. Alaska State Troopers spokesperson Austin McDaniel said a woman who had been on the upper floor of a home was rescued. She was in good condition and receiving medical care. One of the three homes that was struck was unoccupied, McDaniel said. Governor Mike Dunleavy issued a disaster declaration for Rangel, saying he and his wife were heartbroken and praying for all those affected. The landslide left a scar of barren earth from near the top of the mountain down to the ocean.
