A 62-year-old man was killed after being hit by the rotating propeller of his own airplane at Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Clark J. Baldwin of Wasilla died in the accident Thursday morning at a park airstrip. Baldwin's Piper PA-18 Super Cub was idling when Baldwin walked into the propeller. There were numerous witnesses to the tragic incident.
