One person was already confirmed dead in the crash in the Mutiny Bay area of Puget Sound, when a floatplane carrying 10 people went down off Whidbey Island on Sunday.
One person was already confirmed dead in the Mutiny Bay area of Puget Sound after a de Havilland DHC-3 Otter floatplane carrying 10 people went down off Whidbey Island about 3:10 p.m. Sunday.“It is always difficult when it comes time to make a decision to stop searching,” Capt. Daniel Broadhurst of the 13th Coast Guard District said in a statement Monday. “The hearts of all the first responders go out to those who lost a family member, a loved one or a friend in the crash.
Other organizations that assisted the Coast Guard included the Island County Sheriff’s Office, the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and South Whidbey Fire/EMS, the federal agency said. “In total, the Coast Guard conducted 26 search sorties, searching 1,283 nautical miles of track line covering an area of approximately 2,100 square nautical miles,” the agency said in announcing the suspension.
The plane took off from Friday Harbor, Washington, roughly 100 miles north of Seattle, en route to the Seattle area, authorities said. The crash site off Whidbey Island is about 40 miles north of Seattle.Floatplanes like the de Havilland usually use parallel pontoons for takeoffs and landings using waterways instead of runways. The plane was designed as a short-takeoff-and-landing aircraft, which is favored for locations where runways are comparatively short.
