A private aircraft carrying a former head of NASA and, possibly, a former U.S. senator crashed Monday night in a rugged stretch of Alaska. The accident left at least five people dead.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A former NASA spokesman says ex-NASA chief Sean O'Keefe survived the plane crash in Alaska that killed former Sen. Ted Stevens.
Glenn Mahone says O'Keefe's teenage son, Kevin, was also among the four survivors.
The plane crashed Monday night near a remote fishing village in Alaska, killing five.
The former spokesman for the space agency says he has talked to O'Keefe's family. They told him that O'Keefe and his son had some broken bones and other injuries.

I've heard that Reuters is reporting their survival and I certainly hope it's true, however, based on the press conference I just watched from Alaska, there hasn't been any official release of survivors names. Only that there were 4 survivors, 2 of whom are in serious condition - NO NAMES.

From the Washington Post:
"O'Keefe, 54, and his teenage son Kevin survived the crash with multiple injuries, according to the Associated Press. The news service cited a former NASA spokesman, who said he had spoken to O'Keefe's family."
