One person has died, and nine others are missing after a float plane crashed west of Whidbey Island on Sunday afternoon.
Initial calls to 9-1-1 indicated that the plane crash-landed nose first into the water. People living on the island miles away reported hearing the boom – many confused by what it was that they were hearing."It sounded like dynamite went off," said Rick Rasmussen – who was on the beach with his wife when the plane went down.
According to Flight Aware, the plane was traveling around 100 mph shortly before it dropped off of it’s tracking system. Despite cold-water temperatures and the long period since the initial wreck, the U.S. Coast Guard said they are still calling this a search-and-rescue effort Gabelein told FOX 13 that the initial crash led their crews out the water immediately, but that the plane had already sunken beneath the waves. Civilians that were already out on the water were the first to arrive, but little was visible following the crash.
