Jim Morhard, one of the four survivors of the Alaska plane crash on August 9 that killed Sen. Ted Stevens and several D.C. area residents, is returning to Washington tonight, where he will continue his rehabilitation.
The Arlington County resident is arriving from Providence Hospital in Anchorage, Alaska. He will fly into Dulles International Airport by medical air ambulance.
The floatplance crashed into a hill, killing six people. Sen. Stevens died in the crash, along with another of Morhard's business partners, William "Bill" Phillips Sr. of Germantown, Md.
The other passengers who died were Theron "Terry" Smith, the pilot; Dana Tindall, an executive for the company that owned the plane; and Tindall's teenage daughter Corey.
Former NASA chief Sean O'Keefe and his son, Kevin, of Ashburn, Va., survived the crash, as did Morhard and Phillips's teenage son William.
