Victims Honored on 4th Anniversary of Jet Crash
From Times Staff Reports
Families and friends of 88 people killed when an Alaska Airlines flight crashed into the ocean four years ago gathered on a wind-swept beach Saturday afternoon to pray and reminisce about those lost.
About 60 people gathered around a sculpture commemorating Flight 261. The names of the dead were read, and a bell tolled after each name while family members, many weeping, placed white roses on bronze plaques encircling the memorial.
