Two single-engine planes collided in the air Friday near a remote western Alaska village, sending one aircraft crashing nose first and leaving its pilot presumed dead, authorities said. Just the two pilots were aboard the planes when they collided in the afternoon near the village of Nightmute, about 400 miles (645 kilometers) west of Anchorage, State Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters said. One plane landed, but the other crashed and burned on impact, she was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.
