Retirement Dock Becomes Lifeline for Residents Stranded by Deadly Landslide
In the wake of a deadly landslide in Wrangell, a retirement project for a local man has become a lifeline for residents stranded beyond the landslide.
Charlie and Mel Hazel have lived at mile 12.7 of Zimovia Highway for 10 years. Their floating dock – a retirement project for Charlie – has become a hub of evacuations and emergency management in the days since Wrangell’s deadly landslide.
Scientists discussing the factors that led to the deadly landslide in Wrangell have questioned and analyzed the causes. Plus, the mother of an Alaska teen who died during military training searches for answers, marking a tragic response to a difficult situation.
Reports tonight come from Kavitha George, Jeremy Hsieh, and Ava White in Anchorage, Christina McDermott in Dillingham, Hunter Morrison in Kenai, and Anna Canny and Colette Czarnecki in Wrangell.
