SALISH SEA, Wash. – The wreckage of a floatplane that crashed near Whidbey Island last week has been found.
The National Transportation Safety Board said the depth and motion of the water hid the wreckage for several days.
The Seattle Times reports that sonar located a large section of the plane about 190 feet below the surface.
Because of the depth and 3 to 5 knot currents, the NTSB is seeking a remotely operated vehicle to recover the wreckage.
They said that crash details, including the cause of the crash, can’t be determined until more of the wreckage was found.
Ten people were on the flight from Friday Harbor to Renton when it crashed on September 4th.
The only body that has been found was identified last week as Gabby Hanna of Seattle.
