美國海岸警衛隊(U.S. Coast Guard)表示,一架載著9人的水上飛機4日墜毀於華盛頓州普吉特海灣(Puget Sound),目前已尋獲一具遺體,仍有8人下落不明。外媒記者麥德森維德(Madison Wade)援引南惠德比消防局說法指出,推測這起事故無倖存者。
美聯社報導,這架事故飛機自聖胡安群島的星期五港(Friday Harbor)起飛,原定飛往西雅圖塔科馬國際機場(Seattle-Tacoma International Airport),但卻在西雅圖西北方約64公里處的穆特尼灣(Mutiny Bay)墜毀。
已知機上載有9名乘客,包括8名成人與1名孩童。當局目前已尋獲一具遺體,其餘8人下落不明。追蹤班機消息的RadarBox稍早公布失事班機墜毀前的飛行路徑。
