No word yet on who or what. Ambulance just blasted out to the end of the spit.

UPDATE:
No one was injured in a plane crash near the mouth of the Tutka Bay near Homer, the Coast Guard said Friday.
The de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver crashed “under unknown circumstances” as it was taking off from Tutka Bay Lodge, authorities said. It was unclear exactly when the crash happened.
Seven people were aboard the Beaver, said Petty Officer Amanda Norcross of the U.S. Coast Guard 17th District. All seven were rescued and brought back to Homer, Norcross said. No injuries were reported.
