LATEST: At least four people killed and 10 others hospitalized after two aircraft collided in midair over Alaska, according to U.S. Coast Guard.
"There are two people that we're still searching for at this time," Coast Guard Petty Officer Jon-Paul Rios told ABC News in an interview airing Tuesday on"Good Morning America."
The deadly collision took place Monday afternoon in Coon Cove, Alaska, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. A de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver with five people on board and a de-Havilland Otter DHC-3 carrying 11 people clashed in midair"under unknown circumstances," the FAA said in a statement.
Both planes were on sightseeing tours, carrying guests from the Royal Princess cruise ship, which was on a seven-day voyage that departed Vancouver on May 11 and was scheduled to arrive in Anchorage on Saturday, according to Princess Cruise Lines. One of the planes was operated by Taquan Air, which said it has suspended all scheduled flights and is cooperating fully with investigators.
