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. Using information filed online, FOX 13 was able to track the 55-year-old plane to a charter flight company based in Renton: Northwest Seaplanes. The pilot – along with 9 passengers, including 1 child – had left Friday Harbor and was heading toward Renton when the plane went down.
In addition to support from Whidbey Island Fire, Island County Sheriff’s Office and the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department – the Navy has been tapped to add to overnight search efforts.
