One passenger was identified as Sean K.
`I am reeling from the loss,” she said. “But take solace in the fact that they were on an adventure and so excited for their first sea plane ride.” Higgins said investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration were on the scene.The planes collided near Powderhorn Bay, and recreational boaters rushed to the scene, but no survivors were found.
