Just after noon on Monday, the Coast Guard said it was suspending the search for survivors after “saturating an area” of more than 2,100 square nautical miles northwest of downtown Seattle and about halfway between Friday Harbor and Renton, a suburb south of Seattle. Officials received reports that “the aircraft dropped suddenly at a fair amount of speed and hit the water,” Giard said. “We don't have any video or pictures of the incident as of this moment.”
“First thought was thunder. It was that loud,” he said. “There was no flash like you get with lightning. So, you know, I thought it was a boat exploded. It was that devastating. My dog went crazy.” Northwest Seaplanes is a family owned business founded by Clyde Carlson, according to the company's website. It has 24-years of “accident and incident free flying," the website said.
