ANCHORAGE, Alaska— A small plane broke through the ice at Lake Hood Seaplane Base on Tuesday, but no injuries were reported, according to authorities at the scene.
According to airport police, a pilot thought the ice was solid enough to take off on.
He reportedly taxied his plane onto the ice. The ice was not solid enough, and the plane broke through the ice. The pilot was the only person aboard.
The pilot waded to shore and called authorities.
The Lake Hood Seaplane Base is currenly closed. Airport officials test the ice every day, and it will not open the base to flights until there is at least 6 inches of ice.
