ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A video released Thursday shows survivors of the plane crash that killed former Sen. Ted Stevens being loaded into a Coast Guard cargo plane and treated during a flight to Anchorage.

The video, released by the Coast Guard under a Freedom of Information Act request made by the Associated Press, doesn't shed new light on the crash that killed Stevens and four others, but it is the only known imagery immediately after last month's crash in rural Alaska.

A preliminary National Transportation Safety Board report on the Aug. 9 crash did not identify a cause.

The 16-minute-long video shows three of the four survivors being loaded into the plane in Dillingham, Alaska, which was the largest city near the crash site. The other survivor was transported privately to Anchorage later, said Coast Guard Petty Officer David Mosley.
