Alaska Airlines Flight 261

by | Jun 10, 1998 | Witnessing

Paul Harvey would call this “the rest of the story…” Recently some incredible news has been learned regarding the last few minutes of Alaska Airlines flight 261, before it crashed the end of January.

A man related last week that he talked with an Alaska Airlines pilot who is involved in the investigation of the crash of Alaska Flight 261. The pilot has listened to the cockpit voice recorder from the downed plane and reported that for the last 9 minutes of the flight, the wife of the pastor from Monroe, Washington can be heard sharing the Gospel with the passengers over the airplane’s intercom system. (The pastor and his wife were returning from Mexico mission trip.)

Just before the final dive into the Pacific Ocean, she can be heard leading the sinners prayer for salvation! The pilot also told John that the flight data recorder from the plane indicates that there is no good explanation for the plane remaining in the air for those final 9 minutes. But it did remain in the air until the pastor’s wife finished sharing the Gospel and presumably led many to Christ in those final moments. Interesting we haven’t heard any of this on the evening news…
