U.S. Coast Guard ends search for 9 missing in floatplane crash in waters of Puget Sound northwest of Seattle.
1 body found after plane that took off from San Juan Islands went down in Puget Sound on SundayA U.S. Coast Guard vessel searches the area near Freeland, Wash., on Whidbey Island north of Seattle on Monday, where a chartered float plane crashed the day before. The plane was carrying 10 people, nine of whom were still missing Monday.
Later Monday, the Coast Guard said it was suspending the search after "saturating an area'' of around 7,250 square kilometres. The plane went down in Mutiny Bay off Whidbey Island, roughly 50 kilometres north of downtown Seattle and about halfway between Friday Harbor and Renton, a suburb south of Seattle.
The Coast Guard said early Monday that crews searched throughout the night, "but no additional individuals were recovered and no debris spotted." The company's business office next to the seaplane dock at the Renton Municipal Airport remained closed behind fencing on Monday. The only visible activity was two people hugging near the front door. The only floatplane at the dock appeared to be a small private Cessna.
