Anchorage, Alaska, May - Two seaplanes collided in mid-air on Monday over southeastern Alaska, killing at least three of those on board, injuring 10 others and leaving three people missing, US Coast Guard and Federal Aviation Administration officials said.
The crash site, which the FAA said was at Coon Cove near George Inlet, lies in the vicinity of a popular tourist lodge that runs excursions to the nearby Misty Fjords National Monument, about 300 miles south of Juneau, Alaska's capital. The Ketchikan-based operator of the larger plane, Taquan Air, said its pilot and nine passengers were rescued and receiving medical attention, but one passenger's fate remained unknown. That group was returning from a flight-seeing tour of Misty Fjords when the crash occurred, Taquan said in a statement.
