Episode Details

Eleven people survived a dramatic floatplane crash near Sucia Island after the pilot turned back from a scheduled flight due to worsening weather — but the plane hit water and rocks before rescue teams, including civilian boaters and the Coast Guard, pulled everyone out just as flames engulfed the fuselage. Two passengers were seriously hurt, seven others and the pilot suffered minor injuries. The flight was en route to Roche Harbor for a fishing trip, and one passenger’s friend who missed the flight later contacted him to confirm everyone was safe — though they lost belongings. Kenmore Air suspended operations the next day in solidarity, while the NTSB continues its investigation with the wreck now under examination.
